What's Up Doc? (Bugs Bunny reference from my childhood)

St. Patrick's Day or Lots of Green

***********


Mr. Bunny sitting in his garden of carrots,
and happy as a clam about it too. LOL

Speaking of being happy as a clam,
where in the world did that saying come from?
Are clams happy? How do you know? LOL

I'll have to look that up now.
..... 2 seconds later....

According to Mr. Google:

Origin of Happy as a Clam
The idea behind this expression is that clams are happiest when the ocean is at high tide. When the water it as high tide, the clams are protected from predation by birds. This idiom originated in the United States around the year 1830.

Enjoy your day!

with one of the many fonts I've purchased 
through Silhouette over the years.

March - Halloween Crafts All Year Round

A new challenge has started 
I hope you'll come join the fun each month this year!

Always Halloween theme
Any type of crafting welcome



Cut File: Lori Whitlock, Silhouette library

This is a very large project. 
One panel is around the size of one sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock.

Also, because the left side with the banner is partly in shadow, the orange elements lean toward a red color, but really the witch pumpkin and banner are the same orange as the stack of Jack-o-Lanterns on the right.

Don't be intimidated to try out this cut file. It looks busy, but cutting it very large like this, makes it super easy to add all of the elements.
