I had the opportunity to use the most wonderfully realistic looking image - Squirrel - and soon discovered that I don't know how to color a squirrel. Dear me! I really did NOT do this image justice.

Here's my card:

    Oh, Jeanette, I had bother with this image too. I couldn't see his back foot and made a right mess of it. I started colouring a red squirrel and then gave up and made him grey. You're made a good job of him and your card looks good. Hazel x

    What a stunning card! I had to laugh at your post title...I've had similar experiences! Animals can be a lot more difficult to color than we think! I think it came out very nicely. Have a great week! Best, CG

    I probably can't think of anything harder to color! Kinda like that real baby rabbit I had on my blog at Easter. Very hard to do, but have to tell you Jeanette - you nailed it! Great coloring on the little guy and I love your card too-inside and out.

    Oh Jeanette, I love your CAS creation. It's quite stunning and I do love the wee little squirrel at the bottom of the card inside too. Great touch.

    Your little guy looks great. :D You did a fantastic job with your coloring. :D I also like how you framed him, and the little squirrel on the inside too. And the ribbon is very pretty.
