Skeletons Dance – Saturday Night Fever

Ever since I saw this cute, adorable skeleton image in the Skeletons Dance Stamp Set Bundle, it reminded me of Saturday Night Fever! Do you see any resemblance?

Their names are Quorra and Cletus (Quorra is from the movie Tron and Cletus is just a good old country name). The images are from Goggle images and the greeting is computer generated.  The background paper is from the new RSVP Printed… Read More »
