Gator Birthday

This will be fun - AAA Birthday #54 wants us to use our favorite colors this round!
I really wanted to play with some critters today, and I wasn't sure I could find anything I could use for my favorite colors - green and purple - if I did, lol.  A really crazy chicken?  Then I spotted the bike-riding gator in Zany Zoo, and knew it was all good, lol.  I also realized I could finally safely use one of the black and white patterns on the BACK of all the cute critter sheets in the DSP pack - I don't actually have any ballerinas in my life, lol.  So I cut a strip of this sheet and used a blender brush to add Berry Burst for my purple.  I colored my gator with BOTH lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green, and added a few Berry Burst details to the bike.  At the last second I embossed the white panel with the retired Dot To Dot EF - looks like gator skin to me!  I'm so happy with how cute this came out!
