This was sooo much fun to make. I just fell in love with this funky little turtle and his gold fish friend. The turtle and the swirly bg are one coloring page that I colored and fussy cut. I mounted each panel on craft foam. The 3rd flat layer is a Tim Holtz border stamped several times to make a frame. Sometimes if I am having a particularly accident prone day I will make a color copy of the image I spent too much time coloring...that way if it gets smudged, torn, or spontaneously erupts in fire I have a backup. Since I did not need the color copy, I used it to make the punched flowers. Now, there is an explanation why this works for the CT1017 CREEPY Crawly theme....a reason other than the fact that I don't follow rules too well. First, although the turtle is not creepy, he certainly does crawl. If you have ever had pet turtles in an aqusrium...my son's had 3 - one for each of them and a spare in case of an unexpected death - you might know that they poop at least 8 times their body weight per hour. The aquarium was definitely creepy frequently. Then there was the night when I accidently added too much water to the fish bowl and the little guy executed a perfect swan dive onto the kitchen floor while we were all sleeping. That was a creepy sight in the morning. So, I decided that this qualified for "creepy and crawly". TFL, Francie

I love when you get carried away, Francie! Nobody uses color quite like you do. I LOVE your coloring and all the layers. Also, so enjoyed your write-up. Hehe.
Ok, you are hands down the queen of brightly colored images. WOW! Love your BG story - too funny! Hee hee! You make me so glad I stuck to my guns about no turtles. Oh goodness!
