Celebrate with Pizza (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I normally always colour my images as my crafty friends will know but this time I used a pre-coloured image from The Paper Shelter, isn't he great? I printed him onto glossy photo paper and fussy cut around him and the pizza dough. I kept the card fairly clean and simple so the background looks more like a floor and wallpapered wall.
