Let's Rock and Roll!

Welcome to "The Battle of the Bands" sponsored by Hambo Stamps! Today Hambo friends and the Bacon Bits Design Team are bringing you fun creations that depict Band groups! 

If you arrived here from DEBORAH'S BLOG you are in the right place! 

If not, you might want to start back at the beginning at the Hambo blog to make sure you are eligible for the hopper prize!

A prize will be awarded to one participant. Another prize will be awarded randomly to a hopper who comments on all of the blogs along the way. The winners will be announced on the Hambo company blog, Talk to the Ham, on Wednesday, May 29, as well as at the Hambo Hoedown challenge blog.  

We love comments anytime, but the deadline for prize entry comments is Sunday, May 26 at 5 PM CST. 

Don't miss it!

My card was inspired by the band, ZZ TOP!

From the first time I saw  "Bailey Rocks"  at HAMBO I thought of ZZ Top.

I guess it's because of the dark glasses, the coat and the guitar.

He just reminded me of the guys in that band (Well, he doesn't have their long hair though!)
