I'm thinking about using this image on a card, but can someone just confirm that it is a little boy fishing (which is what I want) and not a girl? It is just that the wings have thrown me a bit if its a boy.

Nice image CT. I think it's a boy, judging by the hair.

Yeah it looks like a boy to me, although you are right about the wings...but there are no other girly features at all?

If you are printing it, you could have a go at getting rid of the wings in paint or something?

Thanks SaucySecrets and TomsMom - that's what I thought that there weren't any girl features but the wings threw me!

I will be printing it a colouring it in paintshop pro, so thank you SaucySecrets because I hadn't thought about trying to get rid of the wings.

Great office storage Gemm - looking forward to seeing it sprayed pink.

Good to hear you are sorting things out for your son, Sal. Hope he gets all the support he needs.

Thanks for the offer, and confirmation it is a boy! I'll let you know if I need any stamping, as I am half way through colouring this one, so want to see what it looks like. I'll pm you if I need some orginials stamped. Hope that is OK, but thanks again for the offer, you are really kind.

Saucy - my wires are never exactly perfect - but try adjusting the bind it all with the knob at the front so the wires sit cosily in the gap, then instead of closing the wires in one movement, pull the handle down a little bit, then ease off, then pull it down a bit again - keep going until its closed. I hope you can understand what I'm on about - I tried it and it did make my wires look better.

Flourgirl - you're right - it feels like as soon as I get my crafting bits out then Elliot wakes up!!!!

Rusty - fab cards - I'm sure your OH will love his, as will your m-i-l - the image looks so pretty set against the papers.

Saucy - I'd definately contact the seller that sold you the papers - they might have had complaints from others about them too.

Gemm - that filing cabinet looks perfect for your card - I can't wait to see what it looks like when you've painted it!

Sally - that's fantastic news that you got such a positive response from your son's principal - I think having a supportive school can make all the difference!
