I came across this James Patterson quote. It certainly gave me pause for thought....
Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls. The balls are called work, family, health, friends, and integrity. And you're keeping all of them in the air. But one day you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls...are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.
I found it rather uncanny that Gerda's tiger is juggling five balls. I made "work" the red rubber (for bouncing back) ball in the middle. I know, deep thought for a cute image. But let's hear it for all jugglers.

That is really a cool quote and works so well as inspiration for the image (which reminds me, I haven't colored it yet for the Outlawz.) Fabulous card. xxD dlmundinger(at)yahoo(dot)com USA

That's a lot of philosophy for a juggling cat to carry... and I wish that all of them were rubber, and none glass. Thanks for sharing the quote and this adorable card.

Wow! That is deep, but true. Such a cute card! banaszakv58atgmaildotcom USA
What a great image and a sweet card. Those are some deep thoughts about the balls we are juggling. Thanks for explaining the progressive challenge. I've seen that tiger several places recently and thought it coincidental that so many used it. NOW I understand why.
