I just finished looking at all the wonderful ideas here. This is one of the 2 cards I have not completed. I am totally at a brick wall. I am going to search the web and hope to have this one done before the weekend. The Circus is not something I have any interest in. I am going to try for the big top.

I did find something to use so I will have this one finished by tomorrow. So glad I found some hints from all of you.

Heh, heh! I cheated and printed the photo in standard quality over some old yellow CS Poetic paper (already has the harlequin pattern on it). . . I was experimenting and it worked out so good!

That thought did cross my mind, Donna, but I figured it would be more high tech than that!

I am so happy that I am now caught up with this. I turned to clip art for this one.

I'm going to get caught up some day...
When you're 7 and have the most vivid nightmare about being kidnapped by a clown, you never get over the creepiness factor...I'll admit I struggled with this theme.
This my "Angus" named after Angus Young of AC/DC because when we first found him, he was never, ever still. Turns out, he's a bit mentally challenged - the biggest scaredy-cat (pun intended) on the face of the earth. His eyes are never facing the same direction either. DH calls him "little lion" when he poses in the sunlight.
Anyway, I've played with this long enough - here it is and it makes me laugh every time I see it.

love, love, love this card! MY son wanted to adopt a cat at the SPCA named "Stinky" ......he was completely crosseyed and my son loved him....SPCA did not recommend him for family with very small children however. I love your cat and your manipulation of the image to make him a clown....

Ladies:

All your art is amazing, and intimidating especially since I am so behind.. not sure when I stopped posting? Will have to back track..

Here is my interpretation of Circus.. still trying to use all my CS stuff.. how did I manage to accumulate so much stuff??

Maritza, nice card. I never think to pull out my stamps or stencils. I think I need to write a post it to remind myself! Great job!
