DeNami Challenge #12

Here's DeNami's first challenge of 2012... Anything goes!!

Here's mine...

Let's just say that this card was pretty challenging for me -- had to reverse the chickies to face towards the right, mask out the footballs, etc., etc. I think if I had thought the amount of work through, I might have had other thoughts. Also - I need some cheerleader chickies!!! Anyway, it will work for a Thank You for the people hosting the Super Bowl party we'll be attending this weekend.
