Things with Wheels

Good morning ladies & gents, not a very nice morning so far but we have been promised some sunshine.
Over at CD Sunday the challenge for the week is Things with Wheels, well there is so much to pick from you will be spoilt for choice.
My choice had to be a car for my Grandson Logan who will be 4 next month, and he loves Mario, so this image from polka doodles work and play rang was the perfect choice . Now I know it's things with wheels and this car definitely has them but they are very small on the image but the little guy reminds me of Logan with his blond hair.
You still have a week to enter and there is always a prize on offer for the winner , just click the link above to see the challenge and remember that you must use a CD in the making of your project, so not just for cards folks , the girls will be pleased to see your entries, so good luck.

The only requirement is that you take something from a Cd and add to your creation nomatter how small it is and give credit to the CD.
