You quack me up

I had surgery on my knee Friday and thought I'd have all weekend to play in my craftroom. Well I coloured a lot but, yes there's a but did not make any cards until 8:00pm last night. I wanted to add more embellishments to this card, its a birthday card for a friend, but I just ran out of steam. I do like how it turned out and the sentiment is so perfect! I used this image 1 because its perfect for my friend but secondly I can use it for Doodle Pantry's Stock the Pantry Challenge #3 all you have to do is use a Doodle Pantry image, this guy is Ducky Duck.
