How cute is this little guy?! He's the November image from the Gerda Steiner Monthly Challenge. And doesn't he look great in Mary's colors? Got as close as I could to the colors using my Spectrum Noir markers. And I fit in the Christmas card for dessert!
I really loved Carey's sketch this week. I may have gone a little rogue, but you can still see it, right? I just saw that circle in the bottom corner as perfectly fitting with the ornament that the mouse is balancing on. And the three stars in the background were perfect to make an abstract Christmas tree background for him. I thought about cutting the shapes and making gold starbursts, but then I thought a bokeh background would be a great way to create the illusion of a Christmas tree in the background.

Adorable! Love how you used the cute mouse rolling on an ornament. Clever idea! The bokeh background is terrific and makes me want to revisit this technique. Creative take on the sketch. Love it. TFS

No rogue in my opinion, I see all the sketch elements, plus how beautifully you used the color challenge colors with your amazing coloring! The bokeh background is so festive behind this adorable mouse atop the Christmas ornament. I just love this card!
