Time for a Whipper Snapper Designs cling set release! For this release, I put together two sets for breast cancer, and two sets with a Halloween theme.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I wanted to create sets that are both supportive in nature, yet are whimsical and joyful at the same time. When illustrating sets I feel it is important that the images included be as versital as possible. The images in this month's sets are no different.
(Click on the images for a larger view.)
The images in Bee-Lieve in a Cure could easily be used for birthdays, valentine, and friendship cards. The set includes two small ribbon images, sized perfectly for adding to the bellies of the bees, the front of the bee hive, to the banner, or as small stand alone images in the background. All of the sentiments fit within the flying banner. My favorite bee ... well, I can't decide. *grin*
The second breast cancer themed set releasing this month is Think Pink. The images in this set can easily be used for supporting those not only battling breast cancer, but who are fighting other forms as well.
I hope you find the images and words inspirational; I do, and know I'll turn to them often.
We couldn't let October come and go and not do a little Halloween celebrating! Fall is my FAVORITE season, and I have always been a sucker for Halloween. Not the creepy, scary kind of Halloween... cute little witches, pumpkins, and ghosts are my kind of thing.
It might not come as a surprise that the mummy chicken in Happy Haunting is my favorite, but the skinny "creepy" dude in the hat is a close second.
And the ghost? Well, he's a personal favorite, too. His little hat, and stubby little arms tickle my funny bone. And how about a Halloween kiss from a one-eyeballed monster? I'm in!
I couldn't WAIT to use the crazy witch silouette image in The Witch Is In!
As I drew her, I imagined her flying in front of a large harvest moon. I let out a loud witchy cackle, just to practice. *grin*
Stay tuned, as I have lots of projects to share with you using these sets. Let the fun begin!!

The two Halloween sets make me LAUGH! As always, I can see the possibilities of combining images and sentiments between the two. Oh, I just love the pointy, droopy hat on the owl! He may be my favorite, although it's extremely difficult to choose.
You've done a terrific job of making fun sets to support breast cancer. Like you mentioned, they would work for so many other events as well.
Sorry to type a book, but, well, you just got me all ENTHUSED! Wahoo!
