I like the use of the blind emboss a lot. These are really fun!

OK. Who ever the artist/illustrator
of this calendar is, would you please
step forward. I want to know who’s
responsible for these beautiful images!

Thank you, Grace! And thank you for your nice comments. I love the overprinting too, I purposely left the colored inks transparent.
Wayne: I cut the shapes freehand from black construction paper, then scanned and arranged them in Illustrator.
Thank you again!
