I had FOUR ducks to practice my Synchronized swimming program. I named them after the 4 ducks our awesome dad brought home to mut and I when we were kids much to the dismay of ALL of our neighbors. We named them Tinker, Prinker, Linker and Dinker...for real!! This was way before I knew the Mudder and her list of characters. Well Tinker took off...could not stand the discipline needed to complete the synchronized routine. I have since realized that even with 3, synch is never ever going to happen. I should have adhered to Cindy's instructions of two. Two ducks may do the same thing once in 100 times, three will take a lifetime.... So I have three ducks in a pool. Tried but failed..... Still hope I qualify for the card trade.
By the way, whenever, Cindy has a really tough story I head for Sassy Cheryl's. They have a lot of goofy images and most of the girl images have dots in their hair ribbon. I think they use Cindy's teapot forum and love of dots for inspiration!!
Thanks for looking.
hugs to all of my sisters

Before I retired I always hatched ducks and geese in my classroom. The highlight of the day is when we swam the ducklings but I never thought of a synchronized routine! Love your borders of dots and the delightful image.
