This is Fred and Chloe (designed by Carolyn King, distributed by Gina K designs). Fred is a Santa Wannabe, but Chloe, although small in stature, is always in charge. Therefore, she's the Santa and she told Fred that he has to be the elf. Well, he hasn't quite earned full-fledged elf status yet, and that's why he doesn't have his elf ears or hat. He only has his shirt, shorts, and elf stockings and shoes. If Fred can prove himself to be a good dog, he'll earn those eventually.
Besides the story, there is a lesson here. Never, and I mean never, play with a new idea when a friend (Cammie in this case) sends you a stamped image to play with. If you make a mistake, you can't restamp the image! Well, I don't know what possessed me to try and INTENTIONALLY put my eyelets on crooked for a different look, but it looks stupid. So, yes, I realize my eyelets are crooked, but I can't change 'em! Lesson learned!
The sentiment was computer generated, and I tried to make it look like a sentiment balloon.

Maybe Fred did earn his elf ears and hat but he can't get that stupid bird off his head in order to wear them! Yikes, this bird is getting annoying. I think the eyelets would have been on straight too had that bird not been dive bombing in your stamp room! What an adorably fun card..I love how you clothed him!
This is a great card....by the way, just for today, whenever I post a comment, it deducts one comment. Couldn't get it to work on my own cards though!!
