A Tower Of Giraffes.

I am always up for learning a new collective noun or two.  So when I created this baby card using this darling pastel trio of giraffes, I wondered what they'd be called?  Thank heavens, Google to the rescue.  From my reading, the collective form of giraffes is called either a tower, a corps, a journey or a herd.  Seeing that a tower of giraffes sounds so much cooler (mind you, I don't half mind a journey of them either), I thought I'd go with that:  A tower of giraffes.

I created the baby card below for this week's The Shabby Tea Room Challenge.  Not sure why I persist with entering their challenges, as I feel so out of their league, but I suspect the glutton for punishment that I am has me coming back for more.  What's the definition of insanity?  Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result?  One can live in hope now can't one?  The inspiration for this week is a lovely image engendering all things relaxing and enjoyable using the colors Pink, Green, Yellow and a Neutral as pictured above.  The reason why a baby card was inspired by this picture, was because as the mother of 7 that I am, a relaxing bath (particularly if it could be in one as fabulous as the one pictured above) daydreaming about being on a wonderful African safari would be bliss.  Ahhh, Calgon...take me away!

Without further ado, I present to you, with love, my tower of sweet baby giraffes:

Thanks a beautiful bunch for stopping by.  I look forward to seeing you again soon!
