Hi Shell, what an adorable House Mouse image and so beautifully coloured, too. The texture of the watercolour paper with the distressed edges is so nicely complimented by the lovely embossing and die-cuts. Love those background colours! Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
