Birthday Dino (Barrel of Monkeys)

Don't forget to create something for the Barrel of Monkeys Challenge using Popits as inspiration!!

I used my Cricut and cut out a dino. Then  I used an embossing folder and created the "pops". The googly eye was a cute addition! Using distressing ink, I created some color to the dino and added it to a cloudy background.
