sending you a subliminal message...

The challenge at 365 Cards this past Wednesday is to make a card with a subliminal message. I thought of the subliminal messages where you don't even know it's there. For instance, you could be watching your favorite movie or TV show and all of a sudden you have a craving for a glass of wine (just an example!). What could have happened is that for a split second, right in the middle of your favorite scene, a picture of a glistening bottle of wine flashed. You didn't see it, but your mind did (Twilight Zone stuff, ya know!)

In designing my card I wanted that same effect. So I copied a McDonald's logo on a piece of acetate and placed it over a hamburger. Now don't you just want to jump in the car and go get that BIG MAC? My DH loved the idea and the card, until he saw the ants. He said he didn't want to go to McDonald's for awhile. That's OK, he'll get over it and have a craving for a:

By the way, after a little research, that advertising campaign took place in 1975, the year my daughter was born...(oooops) gave that away!

If you can't see the McDonald's arches, you can enlarge the pic and it'll show better.

On this again Rainy Sunday afternoon, I am entering this card in the following challenges.

Oh, by the way, in case you didn't know my last name is McDonald, due to marriage of course. You wouldn't believe how much teasing I take with this surname...a lot. If I hear one more time, "Is your husband's name Ronald?"

Of course it's better than my maiden name...

and most nights I do eat at McDonald's  TEE-HEE!
