Happy 4th of July! (a tad early)

This little pair from Karen's Doodles are showing their respect to our country's colors and enjoying the parade.  I remember growing up on Staten Island and lining up on Pleasant Plains Avenue  to watch the parade go by.  My favorite was always the horses at the end.  No big surprise why they put them at the end.  As I got older I often got to march in the parade with my high school, which was not quite as fun as watching since we usually had to walk several miles.

I merged the two separate images together and colored them with Copics.  I think they look really cute together.

I am entering this in Karen's Doodles DT call.   Karen's Doodles Challenge Blog will be choosing 5 new Doodle Princesses in July. 




Copics:  C0,  B05, B21, B23, B28, E00, E01, E02, E21, E25, E27, E29, E31, E34, E37,  E97,E99, 
      G07, R20, R22, R24, R27, R32, Y08, YR12, YR20

    I was here earlier this morning, but my eyes were not awake yet, so I thought it would be best to comment later. I love your card Diane. Wonderful way to use those digis. At least you didn't have to walk behind the horses.
