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.

What a beautiful Dalmatian!! We had a Dalmatian many, many years ago. I love that bit of torn, red paper behind the image; it really ties in the red collar.
ReplyDeleteHello, Heather, team-mate!! Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate that!
DeleteWhat a handsome dog ... I understand why you needed to fussy cut & keep him for a future project! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Neglected Stuff challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.
