Hi All

Welcome to another Saturday at Allsorts

This week its me hosting the challenge and I have set you the theme


"ANIMAL MAGIC"

Plenty of scope for you to use animals on your card

I have made this penguin card for my best friend for christmas as she is nuts about penguins, we are going to feed some at the zoo soon.  We went to Edinborough zoo to see the penguin parade recently and one brave penguin chick did it alone, i think the chick thought it was a rock star with 50 people patiently waiting for the parade!
