Pinocchio

Created this Pinocchio and will use it on book shelf.

When I saw the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge "Ridlde: What's Black & White & Read All Over? Answer: a Book challenge to create a CAS project. inspired by a book and use black/white/red I had a good idea what I wanted to do. I do not have many of the Cricut cartridge images memorized/familarized with but the Disney Classics cartridge is one that I recall alot of the images and I remembered the image of Pinocchio reading a book.

Then there was the challenge at the Play Date Cafe for colors black/white with splash of red.

Chose black background which I cut couple of to make this sturdy, white for image of Pinocchio & Pinocchio letters and splash of red on "the book" Pinocchio is reading.















Entering this into following challenges:

CAS-usal Fridays
Tell what book - mine obviously is Pinocchio
