I made this card for two challenges. F4A280, outside the circle challenge, and, WT538, sequins, challenge. I'm not so sure the card qualifies for either challenge, but I had to try. I needed a birthday card for my grandson, he is really into dragons, so this is what I came up with. I hope you like it. I printed the dragon from the computer. I colored him with water color pencils. I had some sheet metal cs, that I found in a yard sale, this is what I used to make the shield and sword. I traced the items on the metal, and fussy cut them. To make the metal curve well, I snipped about a 1/4 inch notch around the circle, then folded it into shape. I did the sword the same way. Once I had my metal work finished, and the coloring done, I cut my panels, and assembled my card. I added black strips of cs, to the shield, and put silver pearls on for bumps, ( their always on shields, I don't know why.) Now, I added one black sequin to the center of the shield. I also added silver pearls to the corners, to complete my card. The shield with the sequin, is a circle, that's why I thought it might cover both challenges. I loved making this card. Thanks for the fun challenges and thanks for looking.

First that is an amazing dragon. Then you have the sword (looking like a perfectly large sequin for me) and that is amazing! and then there is the knife with the same sparkle. Then you added fantastic red eyes. I love this card!!!! Thank you so much for doing a card for my sequins challenge it is so perfect! Hugs!
