I made this card for the Alphabet Challenge for the letter X. The X in my card is for Xerus which I found out is an African ground squirrel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_ground_squirrel. When I was making this card, I forgot this was a ground squirrel so my little fella is in a tree. The squirrel is colored with copic makers. I lightly sponged ink onto the raised portions of the embossing. The circle frame is cut using 2 spellbinder's dies. The top panel and the squirrel are popped up on fun foam. Thanks for looking today. ~Karen.

So cute! Love the expression on your squirrel's face, like he's plotting his next move now that he's found an acorn!
