owl ATC

here's an ATC for the "whooo loves owls" challenge at wicked wednesdays. 

the gorgeous designer paper in the background was painted by an artist and was included in a giveaway package of goodies i received long ago.   the owl stamp is from gray wolf graphics; i stamped it and did some coloring with pencils.  the rest -- leaves, eggs, dragonfly, and words are various stash items.  i chose the words since owls are known for wisdom.  as mother goose said:

A wise old owl sat in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why aren't we all like that wise old bird?

love to all.
