General AK: Photo Mats, Paper Piecing, Squares, Tag

The Pluto paper piecing is the first time, I took advantage of the computer. Previous paper piecings, I printed it, cut out the pieces and traced them, or I used tracing paper. This time, I used Paint Shop Pro to break up a coloring page. Each different color, was placed on a different layer in the program, so that I could print only the lines I needed for each color. While getting used to the computer work, took some time, it made it sooo much easier to get a great quality paper piecing. The pattern for Pluto came from an Animal Kingdom coloring book that was available during the opening of the park.

Fibers are from the yarn department at JoAnns. Beads on the photo mat are from the beading department at JoAnns. The metal embellishment on the tag is from All My Memories. They were sold in a pack of 3 "Discover," "Adventure," "Explore."

"Step into the Wild" is a phrase that Disney has used in advertising Animal Kingdom.

Patterned Paper: Imaginisce Trade Winds "Bengali Stripes"
Bazzill: Lily Pad
