Yes...as in flunked the challenge! I was so into reminiscing about the musicals I participated in while in high school (Brigadoon, Oklahoma, Broadway in Review) that I forgot we were to use a different shape - anything but an A-2 size. So what did I make? A-2 size. Doh! I'm going to post it anyway and hope the challenge police don't kick me out of the gallery. I love Fiddler on the Roof (went to see it while dating my husband and then our son had a part in the musical when he was a HS senior). Sunrise, Sunset is one of the songs, so my brayered BG is supposed to be a reminder of the colors in a sunrise or sunset. Then the primary instrument in this musical collage happens to be a 'fiddle'. TFL and I'll try to follow directions better next time! :-)

Wonderful take on challenge and great representation of Fiddler on the Roof. Sorry you didn't catch the card size restriction on time, I almost did the same thing, so trust me you're not alone.
Well, I am glad that you posted this anyway - this is awesome! Love Fiddler on the Roof but I had never before thought of that when I saw this image. Great card!

Who cares about directions??!!! I love Fiddler too, and your card is wonderful!! Most people dance to Sunrise, Sunset at their son's weddings. Not me..twice!! But I do love the music!
