Monster of a Birthday

My husband chose this image for me to colour for his Pa's 80th birthday. We both thought it was fitting since he's an avid fisherman :-) (and he's got a sense of humour).



I am entering this card in the Little Blue Button Stamps blog Monthly Challenge No. 12 December 10th to January 8th - Birthday Cards.
