Today, we the Teapotters, are celebrating our 300th Teaparty challenge! WOWZA! The Teapotters have inherited a mansion called T. Pot Hill, from Mabel, the last living descendant of T. Potter, for whom the town was supposedly named. Whoot-whoot, a place of our own! Over the yrs, it has been neglected and is in need of repair. The will indicates that the furniture must be sold to raise money for the repairs. Therefore, the Teapotters need to fill it up and fill it out to make it suitable for future Teaparties. I had no furniture to bring so I brought a garden bench to set out in one of the, I'm sure, many garden areas. The card was fun to make and I hope that whoever I Tickle, will like it.
My dotty background and other colors were inspired by these Monkey Lights at The Grommet, last Saturday's IC438 inspiration site. They reminded me of the color wheels of yester-year that were used before colored Christmas light were invented. As well, they reminded me of a toy my late-brother and I had. It had colored pegs that you plugged into a lighted board to make a design.
THANKS for looking!

What a fabulous addition to our gathering place! It will come in handy when all 42,000 of us gather, and another delightful place to have tea and read a book!
This is SO cute, and I love how you colored it in dots!

Love the gorgeous garden you brought for the party, Gabby! With such a harsh winter behind us, that garden bench will entice many a tea potter outside to relax! What a unique "dotty background" - love this!

Gabby, thanks for answering my question...which led me to look at your fab gallery. So much tallent. This card is adorable. I love all the beautiful colors and you did an awsome job with one of me most challenging techniques...fussy cutting. Mine often turns into something more like amputation.
