Made for two challenges, the TLC265 Childhood Memories and CAS59 New York Inspired challenge.
Growing up in North West Jersey I had several opportunities to go to the big city. One in the 1970's we went to see The Barnum & Bailey Circus at Madison Square Garden. Oh the fun.
I couldn't find a clown stamp anywhere so I used the lion and drew in his pedestal. I figured with 4 grandchildren I could use a CAS birthday card soon enough. Kept it extra simple no small embellishments to keep the little ones safe.
thanks for looking

I always loved the big cats at the circus!! they were fascinating in a scary way!! Madison square Garden has changed a bit, hasn't it? What a cute card for one of your grands...I love the stand for the lion...and he's not scary at all! Great job, and TFS!!
