I have been on the Flamingophone all day trying to get Ramon to call Sam, he doesn't want anything to do with Gustav anymore since he left him at the Guadalajara border and flw away with a floozy flamingo and was sighted in Louisiana with her. I know, it's a long ways from Mexico to Louisianna. Well it's actually 910 nautical miles. (Matish, my friend, the world traveler told me so) Anyway, Ramon does want Sam his old pal the best zookeeper ever, to know that he is happy now living in Kingston* Jamaica Man! So after flying non-stop for over 4 days and night**, he is actively looking to mate with a she Flamingo and start a new breed as you can see the sun has made his feathers turn to a coral pink, the white polka dots are what is left of his American roots.LOL
*Populations of Caribbean flamingo are limited to Yucatan, parts of the West Indies, Bahamas, Galapagos Islands, and the northernmost tip of South America.
**They can travel approximately 600 km (373 miles) in one night at about 50 to 60 kph (31-37 mph). When traveling during the day, the flamingos fly at high altitudes, possibly to avoid predation by eagles.
So, though I tried to entice him with shellfish and algae, he wouldn't budge, he says his new friend Starry Starfish is actually going to introduce him to someone today.So it looks like Kingston is his new home. Good luck Ramon, I thought for sure you would have stayed in Guadalajara with a name like Ramon, but who knows...Ramon is one Cool Flamingo Man!
Also this card has the VSN challenge suggested by Lisa, called "color me sunny":
Can't believe I did it again...tweeked it that is! Oh before I forget, CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR DEAR PAM, she has been chosen to be on Priscilla's Designing Team. I am so thrilled, I love the girl and the stamper too! LOL
Thank you all for looking... I am now off to venture into the minds of my nutty friends and see what they have created for the Nut...I mean Teapot Party!

Peggy, I love this image (one of my favs of all time) and you colored it so perfectly. That story is awesome too - you have been studying - you go girl! Your take on the Midnight Madness sketch is wonderful! I think I am going to try it this week myself after seeing Fruitcake's beautiful cards and now that she is a Designer and all. It looked challenging, but your card is so cute that now I am inspired. LY!
