Australian "English" isn't exactly a foreign language - but a lot of tourists have trouble understanding us - so I guess it passes for a foreign language. Hope this qualifies for the challenge. He he.

Oh, sweet Helen, of course this is "foreign" speak! Hehe! We Americans remember well the movie, "Crocodile Dundee," and how that was used a lot. And oh do I love these kanjaroos so warmly colored with the great gel plate print - wow!! It's a perfect card for the challenge, and I love it! Hugs, sweet friend! It's nice to start visiting the gallery again!

I'm right on board with Cheryl on this; can't help but hear Mick Dundee in my head when I see these words. I just watched the movie Tracks the other day about the camel lady who walked across the desert to the Indian ocean back in 1975, so Australia is on my mind and these friendly looking roos give a warm Australian welcome.

When I think of "Australian speak", I think of Steve Irwin. I was always fascinated by his passion for protecting wildlife. Beautiful background for the kangaroos.

Your kangaroo stamp is wonderful! It makes a great focal image and I love the background it's on. This is the kind of foreign language I am best at! Love your card!

I love your gelli plate print...I have banished my gelli plate to the back of the closet for causing too much frustration, but now I see how pretty your bkg is, I just might have to give it another try. Your color choices and coloting look terrific.

Good enough for me! I'd love to hear it in person one day. This card is fantastic. The kangaroos are coloured so beautifully and that gelli plate print is awesome!
