Let me start by saying so sorry I haven't been on for awhile, taking care of my Mom and having some back issues has really gotten me down :( , but I must continue on so.... About a week ago Robyn at My Pink Stamper listed a Design Team call on her blog. I really wanted to try to get on her team because she is seriously one talented lady, but better than that she seems like a really nice and genuine person (very rare these days). The challenge was to use Orange, Turquoise, Brown, Green and other optional color or your choice on a cricut project using your favorite cartridge. At first I thought what the heck can I make with those colors! Then I was cleaning the living room (Dusting, I hate dusting!) and it just popped into my head! I was dusting my autographed Dan Marino Miami Dolphin helmet. Well that takes care of all the colors with the optional color gray for the dolphin. It's not my best work, I made it after having 2 hours of sleep in 48 hours, so I actually think it turned out not to bad! So here it is (sorry the picture is crooked)

Good luck on the DT call!
I love your dolphin, how cute with the football!
This looks great! I like how you embellished the ribbon & wather! Good luck!!
Wonderful! I want to try too but my blog is only a baby and I don't think I meet her requirements. :*( I might just do it for fun though, if I have time to create something before tomorrow!
Your card is adorable! I love all the details!
