I suffering for another feeling of 'wishy-washy-ness' -  I've had these couple of LOTV images for ages now and have only used them once (if at all!!) I couldn't make my mind up which one to use - problem solved - I used them both!!!  

Now I stared at them and couldn't make my mind up how to embellish them???  Flowers etc. didn't seem right so I opted out for a few trees and fences and kept them white.

My MoJo has gone on 'walk about'  - if anyone spots up to him will you give him a good telling off and pack him back home - I need him!!!

Challenges

Less Is More..................Round and Round

This weeks  Less is More is 'Round & Round'  I could be disqualified for this as Mudpie has chomped a chunk out of the Doughnut so I haven't actually got a circle!!! 

The image is coloured with Copics and the sentiment is C.C. Design's 'Be Happy Sentiments'

I did have a second card for last week but didn't have time to finish it - I am entering it now as it also has it sort of has many 'Round & Round' if it included the balloons.

It is a lousy photograph as I took it at night trying to finish it - I will re-photograph a better one in the morning!!
