Snowman Tag maybe

 Hi everyone, this month's image for The Outlawz , Progressive Freebie is Challenge is Mr Squiggles drawn by Cara.

I decided to practice with my pencils and coloured the snowman with Prismacolour pencils. Firstly to show my husband what ombre was in colouring as our daughter had her nails done last week in blue ombre, but as her father has a form of colour blindness, the subtle changes were not apparent to him, so I made them more prominent.

Couldn't resist adding colour to the yellow nose and rosy cheeks though.  Marker snow and some glitter completed the image.   

Rummaging through a box for a label, I came across a pad of labels I bought a long time ago and I am sorry I can't remember where as I would love to have more of these labels.

At this stage I have made a tag, but maybe I might turn him into a card.  The square at the top with the hole, is perforated and can be removed, leaving the top the same shape as the bottom.
