My Critter Crazy Challenges #106 for Dec 2026 Anything Goes Featured Critter DT card

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

why: The purpose of this posting is to showcase my newest owner/DT project for Critter Crazy Challenges #106. Every month the theme is anything goes with a featured critter. This time I'm using a toucan digital image that I printed and colored at least 2 years ago. It is original artwork made by an artisan blogger friend, Mary Smith's husband Mark.
