The TSC was to make a child's birthday card using the out of the box technique and it had to have yellow. I have very few images suitable for a child's card so I had to look to other resources. I found the perfect image in a stack of pages from an acid free scrapbook calandar. In keeping with the technique requirements, I cut the image out and mounted it onto a piece of vanilla CS making sure part of it was out side the box. I outlined the image with a fine tip marker and drew some lines and squiggles under his foot and string for the balloon as they were impossible to cut out. I also used the original border design as the background borders and added some yellow bubble stickers. I really enjoyed this challenge and invite you to join in the fun. Just post your submission using TSC0217 as your Keyword.

Here comes the circus - Hey, Tater, thanks for bringing this cool idea of the circus clown to town!! Love the stripes of the "Big Top" tent in the Background and the colors on his clown costume - kids love clowns, so this could not be a more perfect Birthday card!!
