Cute project Wendy … it reminds me a little of the “Monkeys in a Barrel” we used to play when we were kids. Trying to hook as many monkeys as possible out of the barrel. 🙂 xxx
Me too Cheryll
Love the bright DSP in the back for this fun card x
Thank you
Such an adorable card, Wendy! Reminds me so much of Curious George!!! Love the mix of Petal Pink with Poppy Parade. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you Angie
Adorable card, Wendy! I love the whirling bananas!
Thanks Lori
So adorable, he always makes me smile. And those bananas are just so cute! Thank you for sharing a tutorial too, I am keen to case him!
Thanks so much Melissa
These monkeys are so fun! This would bring a smile to anyone, young and old!
Thank you Teri
The monkeys alone evoke childhood – we had a battery operated monkey that played drums that we could only use on special days and with adult supervision! The interaction is a plus!
Thanks Jan
Such a fun card! There was a video game character, a gorilla, who was looking for bananas on a famous Japanese console… Your card reminds me a lot of that – and of my childhood at the same time – thanks for sharing it with us!
Thanks Aurélie
