I might put some echo quilting around the sun, a face on the kitties and texture in the grass. The cheeky mouse idea is fun, too.

I think just afew little details on the cats , with beads as was suggested would make a difference . Don't put it on a shelf though ,it is too cute to get buried.<br />Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07354033852499807242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684488485702343720.post-88989315299036892282013-01-31T14:40:05.550-05:002013-01-31T14:40:05.550-05:00I think it is very cute too!

Maybe this time your partner will not be so busy. Or give it as a gift. As for additional elements. I like the idea of going crazy with embellishments. Maybe seed beads in the grass, and flowers. Sometimes when you don't like something it's hard to put more effort into it. I sometimes (Like a LOT of times) put things away for a while and then love it when I bring it back out.
