One hot August night, our son Paul thought he'd cool off in the pool. He was sitting on the end of the diving board, and felt a hand on his back. It was a friendly raccoon. That was the end of his midnight swim.
Inside it says,
"I'm just here for a midnight swim, and to wash my dinner."
(Raccoons don't salivate, that's why they "wash" their food.)

I guess I need a raccoon raiding the birdfeeder stamp! They ate ALL the seed - even knocking over the seed container. This is really cute mdf. Adorable image, but they aren't so adorable! Love your papers and design.

What a cute raccoon! If they weren't so mean, they really be irresistible!

Cute image. That must have been creepy for your son to feel a hand on his back while he was by the pool at midnight! And then for it to be a raccoon. Wow! Fun inside sentiment.

What a story! I can't imagine my reaction if a raccoon startled me that way!
This raccoon image you've used today definitely is adorable and looks very friendly looking : ). Nice layout on this card, which I assume will be going to your son?!

Handsome card! This cute raccoon is perfect for the backstory and the inside sentiment. Not sure I'd want to be anywhere near a raccoon, friendly or not.
