*contents of this showcased card were made specifically for FQCB #53; however it would also qualify for FQHSKCB #5 or 6 (time overlap for different start and end dates) with its anything food goes theme and there are elements on the picnic card that qualify for the new FQGGCB limited time period complement that uses up to 10 aisles of 'grocery store' content for the 16-17 days of open competition(s). FQGGCB starts May 28-June 13
The idea of a picnic is very appealing, so long since I had one, long gone are the days when we used to take one across the fields at harvest time for a couple of weeks, many thanks for sharing with us at Allsorts challenge.
