Fishes

Hi Everyone,

For today's card I have used an image from Goebie Designs.

I was crafting one night with friends and they were making backgrounds using Distress Oxides.  I was joking and say that I loved a background as it would go well with this image.  Well I have that background but also received this one as she thought it was better for this image. (Thanks Chris).

I have popped the fish ono a 'wobble' so he moves when touched.
