One of the things I struggle with is holiday themed cards. Somehow I just can't color a simple snowman or sponge a serene winter scene, which is why I ended up with this weird dragon in a sock. My inspiration it candy corn...something I eat often because my blood sugar drops and I need a quick burst of sugar. It occurred to me that candy corn may not be a hideous, unhealthy treat all over the world. Turns out that only us crazy Americans actually make it and eat it. It is mostly sugar, corn syrup and orange, red, and yellow dye....how unhealthy is that? Since I carry it with me always, it has to be indestructible. Unfortunately chocolate melts. The only things that will survive the zombie apocalypse will be cockroaches and candy corn. The colors really inspired me for the dragon.. Right away i colored the bg of this card in Christmas tree green to give it more of a holiday feel.. Then I realized that all the dragons i know are green and would not show up on the background.. The candy corn gave me the color idea for the dragon. I also included this for the CT1120 which is things we are thankful for, and I am thankful for finding the extra time each month to make a card for the F4A sample.
Thanks for looking,, Francie

I love this image. A dragon in a stocking makes sense to me, but then I love dragons, bright colors, and whimsical/fantasy themes. Very fun! Hugz
