Challenge #13 - Elves

Fall is here, the leaves are changing, Halloween has come and gone, soon winter snows will be here.  Time to cozy up for that long winter ahead and do a little creating! 

 The Little Elf

By John K. Bangs

I met a little Elfman once,

Down where the lilies blow.

I asked him why he was so small,

And why he didn't grow. 

He slightly frowned, and with his eye

He looked me through and through -

"I'm just as big for me," said he,

"As you are big for you!"

Today we present to you our design teams inspiration for our November Challenge, the theme this month is "ELVES."  Be sure to check back next Monday for more inspiration work from our design team.
