Creative Tuesdays - Purple

This week's theme over at Creative Tuesday's is
My girls suggested that Madeline the Mouse should have a friend - I agreed.
Summer thought that Madeline's best friend would be a frog, so we named her Violet, just in time for
Mr. Toast's Creative Tuesday's.

Come play along with us, here, it's so much fun!
see you there

    Violet is a sweety. I can see where she could be Madeline's new BFF. They both are talented and bubbly. Very well done.

    Aw. I love this ballerina frog. So cute. Your artwork always reminds me of some of my children's books illustrations. Which btw, children's books are my absolute favorite artistic source for just about everything!!!
