Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity: Loving my CCC #102 DT anything goes featured critter card on 1 Sept 2025

Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity!

why: CCC is short for Critter Crazy Challenges, a crafting blog, with its monthly theme of anything goes with featured critter. I took over the ownership and management tasks in February 2025. This dalmatian is my latest owner/DT contribution for the #102 challenge month.

when: #102 starts September 1 and ends on Sept. 25, 2025 which allows the worldwide design team members with varying time zone differences have time to get ready for #103.
