Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie

...yellow polka dot bikini...

I bet you all were singing that if you were taking part in this weeks wednesday stampers challenge which is Polka Dots. Hence the yellow polka dots here which I turned into huge sunflowers.. But no bikini :0)
This image was an image kindly given by Rein last week.
The flowers and patterning on the 'sunflowers' are stamps from Autumn Leaves. The verse is by Inkadinkado.

Such creative use of dots! Did you handdraw all those lines to convert the dots into sunflowers? How clever. This week's theme has generated quite a bit of tongue in cheek comments. I can't help but laugh!
