This week our cards are going to Jake, a young man of 13 years, that has had more surgeries than he is old.
With this challenge we are to bring jokes and fun.
You see, Chester is a Jester,
he has a wife named Ester.
Their home is that of an empty nester
But that is all for the bester.
You say don't be a fool,
we'll send you back to school
You try hard to count,
but you can't even get the right amount.
You see for I am that fool
who tries so hard to be cool
I don't follow any rule
I just try real hard not to drool
Oh Jake you are such a rake,
It's better than being a fake.
Cuz being a rake you have the girls
Even the ones that wear the pearls.
This is my rectangled version of the teapot. I couldn't figure out how to add the top part of the jester hat, once the card was all done, until I thought of using the ribbon and putting Jake's name on in place of the bells.
I had plenty of scraps to do the stripes with the Swiss dots c/s,

What a clever card. Really! I love the way you've done your stripes and the circles as bells are wonderful. Of course, the ribbon is the perfect finishing touch.
