1. Rocky is driving me crazy! He is so stressed this month. I tried to get him to wear the green bow around his neck and had to compromise by putting it on the witches' hat so he wouldn't flip out!
2. Being a new father to *Yikes*(Rocky's new son) is really stressing him out. I am not sure he was ready for that responsibility. He is still learning all about the world himself!
3. The buzz in the neighborhood right now is what is gonna happen on October 31st. Rocky has never had an encounter with a flying witch and to put it mildly he's scared out of his mind! He has to appear brave too for Yikes' sake!
4. And as if it's not stressful enough with all that's going on, Penelope the Poodle, that wacky poodle from up the street who thinks she's FiFi (the pink poodle) is telling everyone she is engaged to some make believe poodle stud named Champ! Rocky says just because she's got the whole neighbor-hood buffaloed with her nonsense, doesn't mean he has to buy into it! She's got everyone shopping for wedding gifts!
5. Rocky just has to try and relax until the night of October 31st is over. He will be okay.
This card is another in my series of Rocky's Big Adventures. If you want to see the others look here:

Oh, how cute is that? Well, to be honest, it is really cute. Just love that Rocky guy. I like the raffia mop and the cb hat. You have done an awesome job on the challenge.

Well isn't this adorable, if Rocky can be called that! I sure love these cards, and their unique stories. Thanks for making us smile, even on dull and dark rainy mornings. Anne.

Oh my goodness, Cindy, this is just too cute! So many awesome details. Love the tiny little october in the curve of the 3. Love your story! Hope Rocky makes it through Halloween! Maybe you could give him some CAT NIP to help pull him through the whole ordeal!

Hahahaha!! I LOVE this story! Penelope sounds like she needs to see that Pet Therapist on TV -- has anyone actually SEEN Champ around?? Poor Rocky -- he needs a massage and a vacation -- guess he's not interested in going anywhere this Wednesday?
I LOVE this interpretation of the art piece. Your hat is just fabulous; the way you did the date in the moon is wonderful -- the broom is awesome -- love the texture - WONDERFUL card!!

Love it Cindy! so clever with your witches hat and the date on the moon - love the cuttled panels - and great broom - DH couldn't tell my stamped broom was a broom - and it was the wrong style he said!!
Rocky fits right into this inspiration card!
