Mouse on Floating Leaf

I had fun with this one. The idea behind it was neat. I participated in a MMH thread at atcsforall.com. MMH means Make Me Happy. The way it works is someone requests an ATC from a list of different categories, then the next person will make one of those cards and add a short list of about 3 ideas for someone to make for them. This was created for Prairiemouse.

Approximate time to complete: About 2 hours
Original Size: 2.5 x 3.5 inches
