Manly yes!! And I love it!! I love the twigs (though you need one of the clear boxes I use for mailing this type of card) and the great outdoors scene!! I like how you did the tag too, all very clever!! Sol will surely love this outdoorsy card!!

OMGoodness Sheri - this is a masterpiece! Wow! This is so fantastic! Sharon keeps telling Gypsy that each card is one-of-a-kind so when Sol shares these with Gypsy, you can bet he'll repeat that message! Outstanding. Thanks so much for doing this Teaparty for Sol!

Oh, awesome! Nothing more manly than a big buck escaping from some dastardly hunters! I love the twigs you brought in from the outside. Lots of extra cookies for you!
