Sometimes Life Is A Circus!

This is my card for the CAS today. How is this for a truism?? Life is certainly a circus..full of noise and surprises!! I wanted to title this "Something Wicked This Way Comes", but unless you have read the book, it has no meaning.

Maybe some of you are old enough to remember when the traveling circus came to town! The excitement of seeing the animals and the fabulous acts.......bareback riders, tumblers, trapeze artists, lion tamers, clowns...all so close! Going to see the circus today at Madison Square Garden is not quite the same. Not all things improve with time!!

I followed the rules today with color, so don't go looking for RED. Maybe tomorrow. Have a great day. Hugs to you all.

Our little rebel followed the rules? Snort!
You're not going to believe this, but I have never been to the circus in my life. My parents never took us when we were kids (hiccup).
Okay. I take that back (a little). I've been to the Cirque de Soleil as an adult, which is really, really cool, but it's not the same thing as seeing the circus animals, lion tamers, etc.
Cute, cute, clown card, Anne!
