We are going to have to behave this week or we might fall off our lily pad seats right into the pond!
I found the template for the little frog box here: http://www.thetoymaker.com/Toypages/...og/34Frog.html
I printed it out twice and used the second one to pop up the legs and dots and eyes on the frog. I added Stickles to the spots and eyes. You can't see it in the photo, but this cute frog has a sparkly little flower on her belly, just like in the tea pot photo.
Thanks, Cindy, for inviting us to a tea party at your *lily* pad !

OMG! This is over the lily pad amazing!! How fun is this!!! The colors are perfection and I love how is mouth is slightly open...like he's getting ready to say....
Hey, move it or lose it! That lily pad has my name on it and I don't care how long you have been here, go find another. Yah, YOU! Move it!!!
I feel better......if any teapotters fall off their lily pads, at least there is a frog here with some muscle to pull them back on their lily pads! You were definately thinking Carla! I love this!

I love the Toymaker. Great little paper toys! So clever of you to give it more dimension with those popped up legs! Terrific idea! Got any treats in there?

What a clever way to disguise your "extra" for the tea. You can just set it right on the lily pad and no one will be the wiser. I think this creation sends you right to the head lily pad today. Great job with the coloring.

Gollygeewhilickers! This is fantastic, Carla! LOVE that cute froggie with all of his sparkles! I think he would be an excellent holder for tea bags! Just have that little tabby thing hanging out of his mouth, give it a pull, and ouila, instantly a tea bag appears!

Now this is oragami in a large form! Yikes! Is this cute or what?! Never seen a frog like this before. Awesome job here. I hope he floats, cause he his mighty big for some of the lilly pads I have seen. Carla, you rocked this one for sure! TFS :0)
