Lesson for me...read the fine print twice, maybe three times. I didn't see that I was supposed to use strips and the sentiment as is for this Hambo challenge...oops. I'm lucky that I was made aware of my boo boo so I had time to correct it and resubmit for the next challenge image. Thanks! So luckily I like the image so much that I had already colored several of them. I just popped this on the correct background and viola! Not my best card, but I'm distracted today, thinking and worrying over my Dad. Happy Crafting, Shirley G
