Little Caroler
This is a very cute picture and please keep the copy write on it,if you enjoy selections this is a cutie. The face and the dog will go on as a graphic as I am not good at faces and the dog is way too cute to try and do as a selection
The artist was kind enough to give me permission to use her picture and to share it. Please visit her site and look a round
