Happy Father's Day

It's Father's Day in Australia today.  This one was a fun layout to put together:



I followed the fabulous September sketch from Stuck?!   My layout theme was prompted by the September challenge at ARTastic:


The layout features my hubby (father of our teenager).  The elements of the painting that I drew inspiration from were the man and dog by the water, and the spots!  Lots and lots of spots...
