This one was made for Color Challenge 113, to use Taken with Teal, Marigold Morning, and Cool Carribean. Emily suggested creating a birthday card for Shane, a seven year old battling leukemia who wants to break the world record for the most birthday cards ever received (see http://www.shaneswish.com/index.php for more info). So Shane, this one is for you, buddy.
The pirate and parrot were colored with Prismacolor pencils and odorless mineral spirits. The polka dot paper is from the new Martha line at Michael's. It's actually a really thin craft paper, kind of a cross between vellum and tissue paper.
Thanks for looking!
