Today is Michelle Zindorf's birthday so I made this super size birthday card for her this morning. I usually make them 4x4 but for Zindrof I made it 6x6. I added a little party hat for some fun.
Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.
I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987

Lisa,
I didn't recognize it as a MB design. Love their stuff and have a lot of it, but not that one!
Thanks for the info!
