    • JANUARY WEIRD HOLIDAYS SWAP: Due February 20, 2021

    not to brag or anything but I made these for the art a thon. They got snagged right away (traded), But I thought I would share. I punched WAY TOOO many of these cats from scrap papers while I was watching a movie one night.

    Back in like 3rd or 4th grade my son won an art contest. He drew the cowboy scene from inside the bunk house looking out. I never forgot the praise he got from the judges, about perspective.

    So having said all that Marie, you are a true artist. Your perspective on the the SOCKS card, just screams your artfulness. Great use of perspective on the pan handler too. Of course all your cards are great, but it is perspective that adds to each one. Oh and yes, I want one of them.

    P.S. ...
    Does anyone have any recommendations for getting those pictures small enough to meet the file limit... consistently?

    I usually use the tools on my Mac, but this time they all came out different, even though I followed the same steps for each image. Perhaps I need to invest in a photo imaging program.

    I am adding a blog URL. The pictures look SO much better here:

    Gah!!! I LOVE your Pooh card!!!

    I’ve been emailing them to myself size medium, then opening the email with my phone, saving the reduced image to my iPhone and loading from there. Works for me... but kinda clunky. :-/
