Sabra, what a cute scene with the mice skating on their oval "ice rink"! You did such a great job coloring those little mice, too. Such a clever interpretation of the TSOT sketch. Thank you so much for sharing your card and creativity with us at both Double Trouble and TSOT!!! -Donna

DeleteAnother adorable card. CAS and using the oval for your sentiment and appears like ice pond scene for your skating mice. Again great choice of colorful patterned papers for the background... thanks again for sharing with us at DTC and TSOT.
