HYCCT1103 Real Men Wear Pink!

Challenge Title: REAL Men Wear PINK!
Hostess: Dina K. (aka dini)
Keyword: HYCCT1103
Date: Monday, October 3<sup>rd</sup>, 2011

It’s encouraging to see men getting involved in promoting breast cancer awareness by wearing pink during the month of October. They're reminding men and women to talk to their doctors about breast cancer and the importance of the yearly mammogram. Breast cancer affects every one of us somehow. (And though the occurrence of breast cancer is 100x greater in women, did you know that men can get breast cancer too?)

In honor of the men who stand behind the women in their lives…

Create a masculine card with PINK on it somewhere.

I uploaded to the wrong gallery and then uploaded again - I have no idea how I ended up with three! Sorry!!!

Took me awhile to figure this one out, then I found the striped strip with pink in it and built my card up from there. I even made this masculine owl wear pink in his vest.
