SHADES OF RED

Hello again,
Over at SCRIBBLES DESIGNS CHALLENGES, the theme this time is 'SHADES OF RED'. The other day I won some images from Scribbles by Sandy and I really love her 'Mr Woolly' images so I got two more......... "Chorus Line" and "Mr Wool Smiley".
Now when I was looking at Chorus Line this afternoon, I was hit by a really silly idea that I just had to run with....... they made me think of the Folies Bergere. Whilst preparing all my pieces for a card, I started looking for a Windmill but couldn't find anything on the Folies site. So, I says to Hubs "Why can't I find a picture of the Windmill for the Folies Bergere ?"......... "Coz it's at the Moulin Rouge", says He.... "Oh, bum" says I.... "Never mind then". Hubs asked me what I wanted it for and I showed him the Sheep. He looks at me like I was mad and went off for a shower.
A while later he comes in.... "This woman running the Challenge, - will she have a smattering of Schoolgirl French ??!!!"
 "Don't know" says I ... "Maybe. Why do you ask ?!!" 
 "I just had a brainwave", He says..... "Will she know what the French word for sheep is..... coz it's 'Mouton'.... you know.... Mouton Rouge..... hahahahahaha ....... Get it ?.... It's a play on words...!!!!" 
 "OMG - Genius", says I and off I went to get another sheep.

 So......... after all my ramblings... I give you....................

 THE FOLIES BAaaaa-GERE...............


"Chorus Line" was printed 4 times and then I fussy cut the sheep so that the line sat on top of the one below - less one sheep - up to the end..... if you catch my drift ?!!  Then I added some feathers and made a Folies banner. This is a step card.

And next......... "Le Moulin MOUTON ROUGE"  hahahahahaha !! LOL

    Oh Ike - I almost spat coffee over the screen here, just burst out laughing. How flipping BRILLIANT!! Gorgeous card but the play on words is absolutely the icing on an already fabulous cake. And as for the sheep with the twinkling teeth and evil grin - hilarious! Oh, I do hope you win the Scribbles Design challenge - and good luck in the Playground draw too.
