Today's Tea Party is for Gracie's 95 year old father in law who is isolated in his assisted living facility due to Covid restrictions. Rex loves the outdoors and used to have a farm, so I took the opportunity to use this farm/math joke that I found when I was looking for a joke for Anne's daughter-in-law's card.
"A rancher went out to round up his 297 cows...he ended up with 300."
As usual, I saved this as a PNG file that you can get on my blog: The Stamping Actuary
But I was so focused on the farm and the joke that I forgot about Polly's SMILE challenge. Oops! Sorry, Polly!

I'll let ya get by forgetting the word play since this is such a fun card...the illustration and the saying. It's so darn cute...I'm sure it'll be a big hit!

Love those wooly cows and you placed him in the perfect starring role here. Great farm scene. (You must have your own warehouse for stamps!). Love the humor and the fun card. I'll try your Word Play for you:
S - Scottish Cow
M - Math
I - Ink (not so clever, but at least I got the i)
L- Layers
E - Exceptionally Fun

Love your cow! There's a park we sometimes go to for a walk and they have some Highland cattle with horns just like that - only the cows are a reddish colour. Love your country scene and the joke is brilliant! One of our best friends used to be partner in PWC, started out as an accountant there, he'd just love it.
