This sweet little Octopode moon and stars reminded me of the book, "Guess How Much I Love You." That was my oldest daughter's favorite book when she was little (I think it probably still is). We would read it over and over every night. She still has a framed poster of the scene where big nut brown hare says these words to little nut brown hare, and she is 21 now.
This is going to be her Valentine's card, and my heart smiles knowing it will thrill her because she loves that story so much and because she already thinks that Octopodes are the coolest things (me too).

Oh, Nancy, I LOVE this quote - I think I bought a set that had it - just for the quote!!! LOL My Firstborn DGS also claimed that to be his favorite book, and I always include it with a baby shower gift!
I had never seen these images before, but I sure am loving what you did with them on your circle easel - your sponging suggests nighttime and the stars sprinkled around the card look so perfect - your DD will be so thrilled! How cute she still has the poster of the brown nut hares in her room!! What a special show of the love you two have! LYMI!!!
