MICRO CHALLENGE: purple snurple!

the caardvarks "homegrown challenge" (featuring cards with a fruity or veggie theme) is just ending, and the new challenge does not start until saturday, so it seems like there is time for a super-quick MICRO CHALLENGE in between?

the theme?
yep, you guessed it: purple!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what's that you say? you don't *LIKE* purple??!

ok...but howsabout: lilac, mauve, pansy, grape, violet, hyacinth, magenta, heliotrope, orchid or mulberry?

...OR...

consider: royalty, wine, purple hearts, purple haze, the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as prince, purple rain, flyin' purple people eaters, the blood of klingons (according to wikipedia! who knew?!) or perrennial sixties hard rock faves deep purple?!

i went very tradtional with this one. uh-huh. flyin' purple people eater! complete with custom-designed purple-people-eater chipboard accent, and a silly silly joke that no one un-related to me is going to find remotely funny. wanna see?

the outside:

the inside:

(purple people eater made from plain chipboard, acryllic paint, sharpie & uniball pens, glittery white stickles & a google eye from michaels; patterned paper: scrapbook wizard, making memories, current; glossy black cardstock: ranger; font: 3 hour tour)

text reads: how many one-eyed one-horned flyin' purple people eaters does it take to wish you a happy birthday?

answer: only one...which unfortunately is twenty-five less than it takes to get that song out of your head! (SORRY!) happy birthday anyway!

ok, sure, it's WEIRD...even by my standards! but i kinda like it. and i am prettttttttttty confident that my uncle ron will not receive *two* of these babies! not this year...not next year...not even if he lives to be 147. niiiice. :)
