      No, they will make it to your recipient! They are just going to put a big bar code sticker over the bottom if you put stuff down there that’s in the way. And I know that from years of being a graphic artist and designing direct mail pieces! I’m glad you loved it :-)

    Absolutely Beautiful! I love the colors & patterns & graphic style of the fish shapes ~ & you make it look SO Easy! As much as I love collage pieces (& truly loved doing them in my preschool years lol), I have a much more difficult time with it now & it just won't turn out. BUT ... now that I've seen your process - & that GREAT starter point of the fish outline - I'm hoping I'll have more successful results the next time I try it. I love the Eric Carle style & try to study his pictures, but its easier to see the process start to finish, so thanks so much for doing this demo. It's helpful! I'd love to see more demos like this on
    • a mountain tree scene - like pine trees in the snow
    • summer pool party
    • something to do with strawberries
    • Thanksgiving theme (turkey or Pilgrims & Idians)
    ... just a few thoughts ~
