True Story- Tammy and a friend are riding along the bike path in our local park, on their fancy bikes (that most likely cost more than my car) and from out of nowhere comes a rogue squirrel, racing the bikes, and then jumps from the bushes and lands in the spokes of this fancy pants bike! Tammy's friend goes head over, and lands, breaking her arm. The squirrel did not survive. (insert moment of silence here.....) So, Tammy needs birthday greeting for this most unfortunate friend, and thus..the Squirrly Birthday card!
And thank goodness for QFTD! This week, we honor a wonderful and encouraging Stamper, whose comments leave smiles, and whose work inspires! Jill, it is great to see you here, and you certainly deserve it! I looked at your gallery many times today, and I finally chose Jill's Thinking of You. Enjoy your reign Queen Jill!
Thanks for looking!

Oh my GOODNESS! NO STAMPS????? but you sure worked the punches!!
Leave it to you have a squirrel "on hand" just when you need it - must have the special effects aisle delivered to your house every week from the craft store!! Just too cute for words, Sistah, and perfect for the "situation" - sorry about your friends broken arm, but what an adorable card - love his expression! lymi!

Pat, what a story and how appropriately you put this hilarious card together. I would love to see Tammy's friend open this one. She will not believe her eyes. Thanks for sharing the great story to go with your awesome card!
