Perky Penguins - Red Rubber Designs Inspirational #102 - Winter Stamps





Red Rubber Designs has a new Inspiration Team with weekly inspiration challenges.  I'm jumping in with the first 2014 challenge by Kendra, which is to use winter stamps.  These Perky Penguins by Red Rubber Designs are some of my favorite fun stamps.  They are so playful and cute.  I made a scene with them enjoying the winter snow.  I figured this would make a good January birthday card.
