Black Cats & Bruce
.
Every year Helen has me make her a dozen Halloween cards, honoring her 3 cats is a must. The cats and tree are punched from that foam paper so they are dimensional and a bit fuzzy. I'm still not sure if something should go in that space between the 2 big squares on the left. It looks empty but anything I've tried makes it look cluttered. I like the clean lines and graphic-ness of this card.
I love the sound of Bruce in the morning!

I love the sound of Bruce in the morning!My eagerly awaited new Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band CD, Magic, arrived from Amazon a couple of days ago. I'm only about half way through it but I love it.
I told Steve if I'd been in the right place at the right time, I would have been one of those girls on Ed Sullivan, screamin' and cryin' at The Beatles. What's wrong with me? I watched the 60 Minutes interview with Bruce and the band last Sunday and found myself ever so slightly teary eyed because I love them so much and they have brought me such joy over the last 32 years. (Really?? 32 years - yep, I looked it up. That's shocking to me. Heck, I don't even know how I got to be 51 years old. Too weird.)
The closest they will come to Rochester this tour is Albany, about 3 hours away. I have my biggest craft show at the museum the next day so it's not do-able anyway. But oddly, I don't have it in me to drive that far for a concert.
Speaking of being 51, from one of the articles in Money Magazine:
One thing's for sure: Boomers are still filled with the youthful optimism it takes to make those big dreams happen. More than 70% of the respondents in our survey said they feel younger than their age (close to half feel younger by 10 years or more), and nearly six out of 10 believe they're still in their prime.
Edited to add: I like the element of 3 repeated here in the tiny dots in that space between the 2 left squares. But I'll definitely try your idea, Ann. I couldn't get past the fact that I thought they needed to have the outside edges lined up in a perfect rectangle. Funny how you get something in your head and can't see the obvious. I'll post that one tomorrow. (Thanks!!)

Re the space between the two left elements... you might try moving them closer together (top one down a smidge and the bottom one up) so that the distance between them equals the distance between the three cat boxes. Cute card!
Ann
I like the dots! They're just enough and not too much. Could you turn them into teeny cat's paws? Or pumpkins?
I love that Halloween card!
I watched the 60 Minutes interview with Bruce and though of you!!
I was in Delaware and didn't know about the 60 minutes interview! WAHHH!!!!!!!
