Let's swing!

Let's swing! features my nephew, O, having a little fun at Ikea in December 2008...(you may recall that he just celebrated his 3rd birthday earlier this month).

This was done on an 18X12 canvas. I wanted to do a double page spread but decided that this would look great on the wall (plus I just had one of these in my stash :). I took the photos in sequence but this is what happens when you don't use a tripod and you are squatting..*LOL* I aligned the bar in the photos...Just random painting and stamping on the background, ribbon and chipboard....
