My Creation

I took these two ideas....


and painted this....
(Sorry, it's a cell phone photo once again.)

I must say I am a bit proud of this.  I am NOT an artist by any stretch of the word, but got this bug to just go for it.  I used miscellaneous paints we had hanging around and made my own stencils for the birds and leaves (by totally copying what I found online... no free handing here- well, besides the tree trunk, but even then I totally copied the basic shape).  Cost for a vinyl tree: $100 (approx.).  Cost for this tree: $0.00.  Yay for me!  Okay, I'm done tooting my own horn now. :)
