I made this card for my Dad for his birthday -- he's a farmer who lives in the mountains, and since we've always loved Snoopy this seemed appropriate. I masked Snoopy into position (the original stamp is an old foam mounted one with Snoopy on rollerblades - his paw just happened to be in the right postion to "drive"!)

Edith,
Thanks for the kind words! It's nice to know my FlyBaby friends are out there watching
I need to get more "tips" on uploading a card to improve my color resolution (It was really a bright, cheerful card in real life and looks washed out here....oh well, it's only my second card to be uploaded.)
