This one surprisingly posed a bit of a problem because though I readily found loads of farm yard type chicken images and roosters they all looked well sort of English to me!
After searching high and low I at last found an image and my problem was solved. Image is actually a Quail but they look kind of French aristocrat ! Hey this is my challenge and my rules so I give you

Oh, this is so cute, and yes, your 'hens' did look very sophisticated & French (wonder why we associate sophisticated with French? Must be from my reading novels, I expect!). You gave me a nice chuckle to start the day, and a very pretty card. TFS & yes, I did use some cream pearls to dot the I's on the Britannia die. An idea I got from our favorite Pixie). Hope your back is still improving. Hugs

The Quail is lovely, I love it's head plume. It looks like it should be walking (strutting) down a catwalk for one of the posh French fashion houses :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping over, I love that the doors are being put to full use :)
