Checks and Frogs

The challenge on Penny Black Saturday Challenge is for checks and I knew the background paper was perfect although I only had a scrap of it along with a bit of doodlebug paper which all worked with the cute frog image. I've also used the Create 4 fun sketch again so perfect for the image. Even though there is no blue in the papers I think it works.
My visit to Wales was to visit a sick friend and left me feeling how cruel life is. But Sis and I stopped overnight in Swindon and drank a bottle of red wine in our friend's honour and the following day we did some retail therapy. I'm sure Lynne will have approved.
