I made this for the TSC challenge for yesterday which was to make a card to resemble a good memory in your life. I had to go with this cute VW bug. A life long friend, use to have a VW and we sure had lots of fun bopping around in it. To this day we laugh at things we did during that time. I am going to save this card for her birthday so she can smile as she remembers all the goofy things we use to do.
Thanks for looking and hope my good memory of days gone by makes you think of things you did in your younger days that will put a smile on your face today.

That is so cute, and I haven't seen too many VW bugs that didn't put a smile on my face, so to have good memories of one would be the best! Cute card, love the windshield especially. Cool. And that DP is just the best. I am not sure what you did for the handle on the truck lid but it looks so real. Great job. TFS
