TOP TEN IN ALL ABOUT HEARTS- A FATHERS LOVE JUNE 2009
My CRITTER Series is great for animals lovers and children. Brighten a Nursery Room or a Kitchen/Bathroom maybe with these simple but sweet doodlings.
The Laminated Print looks great in Black Bordering and even better if you frame it using another Matt in White (for a real expensive looking finish)
Do check out my T-Shirt Gallery here on Bubble for this design in a variety of colors- I think its sweet on Lemon Yellow.
Helpful tip- A ladies skinny fit in small will fit a girl 7-10yrs a a regular Tee
