FUN IN THE SUN!

Decided it was time to get out the Copics and practice coloring again.
Luckily I won a free digi from Desert Island Crafts Challenge
the sponser was Dilly Beans and I chose


FYI- Look at the sun.
I made it with 1 circle punch and 2 punch of the SU! 5 petal punch.
Layered it - and - Viola! a 'cool' sun!
Actually, my fun is in the house, not outside in the sun.
The sun in the Midwest has not been much fun -
even though the temps are on the down slide -
the humidity takes over so it is still uncomfortable to have -

Fun in the Sun!
