Zany Zoo Bicycling Alligator Smile Card

 Greetings!

It's time for a fun, lighthearted card that is sure to put a smile on the face of whoever receives it.  

The Zoo Crew Collection has an amazing variety of adorable creatures doing all kinds of activities.  It's so easy to do a quick card as some of the animals on the Zoo Crew Designer Series Papers(DSP) are designed to be cut out with the Zany Zoo dies, making it a breeze to create a fun card with all the coloring done for you!  It's a win win.

The flip side of all the Zoo Crew papers have black and white prints which create options for a wonderful background.  


When trying to find the right greeting to put on this card I opted to use the "Smile" from the Circle Sayings stamp set.  It's perfect with the big toothy grin the alligator has and is sure to inspire a little chuckle from everyone who sees it.
