This is my card for the MMPTP411 challenge "Tractors, Mules, and Wagons; Oh My!" We were asked to bring tractors, wagons, trucks, mules, etc. Our cards are going to Jerry this week, who is in Hospice care, in hopes of bringing some joy and smiles to Jerry's last days.
I found this image in a card making program I have on my computer. After printing, I die cut and double-matted it before attaching it to the card base. Since Jerry is an artist, I thought he might appreciate this image. Plus, I have nary a stamp with a tractor on it!
As always, thanks for looking!

I am in awe that you can design so quickly! It takes me longer than a day to just formulate a plan! Perfect image for him. I love that you tied together the tractor with his love of art! Perfect card for him!

You and your computer, Jody! the things you come up with are amazing. Before reading your narrative, I looked closely at your card and thought your shading was phenomenal and your coloring out of this world. I have to think Jerry will certainly love having this in his room. As an artist, I'm sure he'll connect to another artist with delight.
