Sweet Heart Owls

I wanted to make and send some Valentine's to my children and their families and decided for my daughters these cute little owls. I saw them on Michelle Zindorf's web page and had to case them. So this is my version with drawing the tree and swings. Thanks Michelle for all your inspiration for making me think outside the box. I made them thinking of you and Valentine cards all rolled into one. Since they are out of state I thought they would love these.  Hope you like them!
