I love your image! I once had a pet raccoon and this one stole my heart! I love the layout and the bold colors on this. Smokey looks a lot tamer than mine was.

Cute, cute valentine, Mary. Love the raccoon w/ the heart. The color combo is a classic and is perfect for your card. I like your layout with both embossed and printed/stamped panels.

What a beautiful card! I love the way all your textures and colour work together. Your little raccoon reminds me of those old fashioned valentines we used as kids. Fabulous!
