For the 'Free for All' challenge of today we had to make a birthday card for a child.
I made this card for the daughter of a friend, who loves to go to the zoo and see the animals. She was really enchanted by the giraffes.
I was glad when I found this cute picture on the internet. It is designed by Mary Hall.
Here's what I did : I used a part of the clothing of the child to generate a "giraffe" pattern that I arranged in diagonal stripes to make my background

That is an adorable image, and the way you used the giraffe texture on the background is a great touch. So is the tree branch - it makes me think of the foliage that the keepers put on the ground for the giraffes to eat.
