It's really been "one of those weeks" around here so thought I'd post this quick and easy card. The stamp is from My Favorite Things (Freckles). When I was younger (MUCH younger), I had flaming red hair (not sure where all that went!!!) and freckles all over my body. I think every time I got out in the sun, about a million more of those little gems popped out. By the end of each summer I was just a general mess of freckles! I still have the freckles - but I think they're considered "age spots" now! Pretty sad to say! Anyway............back to the card......I paper pieced both her jeans and her shirt out of some scraps (snippets) and then just colored the rest and popped her on top of the oval.
So, no Funny Friday today but hope to get back to those soon.
I'll enter this in the challenge at Pixies Crafty Workshop (snippets) and Alphabet Challenge Blog (paper piecing).
Thanks for stopping by................and have a great weekend.
Lynn

You know you're reached adulthood when your freckles become age spots! Wonderful card Lynn and the paper you used is perfect!
You can paper piece with the best of 'em Lynn! This is simply adorable! You have the freckles, I have the dimples! LOL I guess we've all got sumthin :)
What a sweet little card. LOVE paper-piecing! Now I know what to call my age-spots; mature freckles!!
Aww she is a cutie!! I know just what you mean about freckles - got plenty from the sunshine! LOVELY design on this one, Lynn!
Aw, this is pure adorable. I love this little waif - for some reason I like her but not the Tilda so much. She tugs at the heartstrings I guess. Love your paper piecing, and you are the queen of the clean & white. This is no exception. (Yeah, we all got age spots. Call it sun damage. My dermatologist does!!Hugs). TFS
A red head with freckles -- you're singing my tune, Lynn. lol I love this card! She's so cute in her paper pieced outfit and the twine is exactly the right touch. Ribbon would have just been too much.
isn't she just the cutest thing-love the paper pieced outfit-the Alphabet Challenge also has a paper piecing challenge

Snap, Lynn, I had red hair and freckles on my nose too, all gone now :( I used to live in hope that the freckles would all meet up and be called suntan :) The card is charming - love the delightful image. Elizabeth xx
