This little guy is just too stinkin’ cute! A friend of mine asked me to make her a card for her son, who is in 3rd grade, and was going through a difficult time. I immediately thought of this Otter cuz you just can’t be sad when you see his little face! I added a few other touches, such as the embossed background, but otherwise kept it pretty straight forward. I hope he likes it!
