Nice one, Michelle! Did you know that Benjamin Franklin tried to make America's national bird the turkey instead of the bald eagle? Ha! Would we be eating eagles at Thanksgiving and protecting the turkeys?!
HI Justin! That would be funny. thanks for stopping by!
oh, i love this! great concept and rendering!
Well done.
Very nice! I like the texture you used in the background.
Wonderful work! I love the idea and the background texture. It really adds depth!
Great work! I also love the roughed up background-- gives it an old-fashioned (yet still modern) feel!
What a fun idea!
