I threw this card together to see if I wanted to participate in a Dolly Mamma's swap.... it is an odd size ('cause the swap said it had to be!) and I had a tough time working with this kind of a long card. Also, sorry for the shadow, but it's dark here and I wanted to get it posted tonight for some opinions!
On Dolly, I used lots and lots of stickles to give her some bling. I really need to get hot pink stickles for her skirt (it's on the shopping list!) because the green don't give enough contrast. The black dots on the cat are stickles too.
For the next version, I think I'm going to stamp the sign twice and put it on pop-dots to add some dimension... what else should I do?
Any comments, suggestions, improvements would be greatly appreciated since I still haven't committed to this card! Thanks for looking!

I really like the card. I think putting the cat also on with dimensionals might give the card alittle more balance since you have an 3d effect with the flowers and sign.
I REALLY LIKE THE CARD. You have done a terriffic job with the odd size.

I think this is adorable! I love how the dots on the dress, mirror, sign and cat mimic the swiss dot bg! I like stampinfrog's idea to put the cat on dimensionals. I was thinking the sign might be tricky to cut out because Dolly's hair overlaps the edge...? The colors you used are so fun!

I think your ice cream sherbert color scheme is great and the dots give great texture! I really like your style. I like your idea to pop out the sign. You go girl! Kay

This is super cute - I love the four different colored swiss dot panels!! Great idea to pop up the sign. My first thought was to cut two small slits on either side of her waist and add a small ribbon/bow. but, I love ribbon...

It's wonderful the way it is ... but I do agree with all the suggestions that have already been offered. I want to add that I also love the flower and all the great color and texture you have on this card.
