Hi, Linda, and congratulations on your first upload to SCS! What an adorable card with this "chubby" deer! He immediately made me smile just seeing him and his expression! I love the great texture and wonderful layout! This will surely make someone smile, and I agree about the "fluffy" feeling this fella seems to have...hehe!
