Cute Oddities



Sometimes it is worth it to go with the flow. Sometimes it is just good to make believe. Sometimes oddities really do exist and sometimes we just have to open our eyes and let them find us... Like cats sitting atop of each other not ready to topple over because they are so graceful and arrogant like that. Like snails all in a row, being content to follow one another, not caring how long it takes them to reach their destination.

These two cards were created with this really neat Lawn Fawn Challenge. Both feature Critters in the 'Burbs, a clean and graphic design, and a touch of glossy accents for added interest.
