Thanks to Vickie for sending this fun image for our monthly image swap on Splitcoaststampers!  This image was fun to color and try new techniques (see the dog's coat?  First time I tried this, in case you couldn't tell).  The most difficult part was finding a coordinating sentiment, so I decided on 'sending smiles across the miles' from Papertrey.

Sketch is courtesy of Tuesday Morning Sketch challenge #276.  I rotated the sketch to coordinate with my image; it's such a versatile sketch that it works either direction!
