Take a look Tuesday Challenge

This is my entry to Nic's challenge:

"THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE...Create a card that has a theme appropriate for a little boy. You might choose sports, cars, dinosaurs, dogs--you name it, but it has to be a "boyish" card."

Sorry ... it had to be blue (Sam is a Chelsea fan) and it
had to be grubby, because Sam is always
grubby after football!!

Does my bum look big in this?

Wooha - had time to play today.
