Here is my take on MMTPT 49!! I guess I have to come in the back door because I brought a snake to the party and I am sure you all don't want him scaring off all the belly dancers, LOL! He is a pretty friendly guy though!! Glad to know it's Iced Tea this week, wouldn't want anyone to get frightened and spill their hot tea, heehee!! So, do you want to play along??

Oh please... don't worry about the tea being hot, well it is in a way, it's Long Island Ice tea. Cathy got some in her big bird costume. LOL I just love tha little snake, I could not find any snakes and now that I think of it, it's a good thing, my little kitty would have been afraid of it. But Kelly says her snake likes kitties, doesn't that mean for lunch or what...
Pretty sketch, love the funny little snake and your colors are just perfect too. Have fun, if you can't find me, look near the Irish-belly dancing counter. LOL

Aww....what a fun little snakey you brought to the party! Shh....don't tell the girls but I am letting you in the front door! Well, I am a little concerned about the venemous boa constrictor with the rattling thingys on his butt that is napping on the back porch. The snake charmer feel asleep after he ate all of Marilyn's cheesecake and I fear your cute little snakey won't fare so well when the Boa wakes up!
Giggle!
Your card is just precious! Who'd a thunk you would get to create a snake slithering by for a tea party! One never knows! I love seeing you this week Alex! Thanks for coming....thanks for bringing this little card! I think you snakes gets the award for the happiest reptile! That prize is big money!!

Like how you highlighted the main image with the different patterned papers.
Your little snake looks so happy he must been charmed out of his basket by one of the belly dancers.

This is adorable. I love how well those two papers go together. I like all those little circles on the dp, the brads and the big snake circle. Awesome layout.

I have to say that this is the cutest snake, I have seen. Maybe it is because he got all dolled up for the snake charmer. Love your dp's and your layout.

I like your layout on this card, and he certainly does look like a friendly snake. I don't think I need to get my flute out for him to play soothing music, he looks laid-back enough already.

Aha, another snake in the grass! Better than in the tea, hot or cold! And so cute besides. I love the layout! And your faux stitching is wonderful. Such a nice accent, along with those brads!
