Curt has been on hiatus for awhile. When he read the story of the spotless Duke, he hopped to his hoofs and mooed aloud, “I have got to help that little guy!”. So here’s what happened next…..... in case you are confused go here for the complete story......
To back up a tad, Curt knows all too well what it’s like to grow up “spot”-less. You see, he too was born without spots. He ended up carrying around an umbrella so he could hide from his friends. Finally his mom took some sewing lessons from Anne Ryan and they came up with just a darling and well fitted jacket that had just the perfect spots on it. Finally Curt felt normal….or did he? hmmmm
Now that Curt is older and wiser and doesnÂ’t give a hoot what others think, he has decided to be himself, whatever that maybe. So he had Miss Anne of Ryan alter the jacket for Duke, since his mom is getting up in age and canÂ’t see well. Then he will give it to him in hopes that one day he too will realize that itÂ’s whatÂ’s on the inside that counts!.....at least that was what my dad always said. I thought maybe he said that because I was ugly or something and he was just trying to make me feel good. hehe Who knows!
So Duke, wear these spots well, get that job and enjoy life. Curt is Â…Â…and in stripes to boot! hehe
Gotta love Tuesdays! Â…..stamps from CDS, coloring with copics.
Thanks for stopping by!......TFL :0)

How cool that Curt grew up and learned such a valuable lesson! Cathy, this is just too cute! You are such an amazing artist and of course you are also lucky to have Anne Ryan as a friend who is willing to sew for Curt! Great card!

You bet I didnt know anything about sewing Curt a jacket. I would never have said yes to that one. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to make a jacket for someone for which there are no patterns. Anyway, I see Ann Dodd gave you a fabulous compliment today. Woot! Woot! good for you, russian spy. What a fun and colorful card. Hey, wait a minute, arent those today's colors too? Ah ha, I see what you're doing over in CH. Killing birds with your stones?Love the dots on the sides and your doodling. very cool card.
