I made this for a grandpa of one of my daughter's teammates on the high school soccer team. He is the girls' biggest cheerleader. Every single game he would show up with 5 x 7 photographs he printed on his own of my daughter. Sometimes, he would have funny quips in talk bubbles. So this will go to Grandpa Joe with a gift certificate of some kind as a thank you. Also, he sent me a message on FB saying the kindest things about my MacKenna. She got 1st team all conference, All State honorable mention and All-state honorable mention for academics AND she was the team offensive MVP! I'm a little proud.
I computer generated the soccer balls to get the three different sizes.
