    Hi, Great squirrel! Is that your design? I like the big bushy tail. :P
    Do you think you could make a Lady Bug? I like ladybugs… :P

    Great work J

    Hey Bonnie, thanks for the comment. I can try to make a ladybug but i can’t promise anything. I think folding the spots would be really hard. :D

    Kind regards,
    J
