Sunday Postcard - Once upon a time (beware the toad)

Once upon a time, a young Australian girl met a frog, possibly a very nice frog. Sadly, over the years she discovered that this "frog" was a venomous cane toad. Sad but true. Ah, the blog challenges are great places to get rid of some angst.
The image (of girl) is from Outsider Artist freebies, the frog/toad, castle and background are by Irene Alexeeva (Scraporchard).

    Oh I am still laughing out loud after reading your accompanying post. This is a brilliant take on the theme and the old tale of the Frog Prince!

    Ah, Marie, I had to look outside my window to see that my Frog-Formerly-Known-As-Prince still sits on my garden wall. I'm sure he's a distant relative to your despicable toad!! Great fun, and, as always, WELL DONE!

    Cane toads are bad! But your card is enchanting, Marie. The images ae very beautiful. I'd love to open a page of your storybook and disappear into tha castle.
    Who needs a prince anyway?

    Frogs are supposed to turn into handsome princes not nasty little toads. What rotten luck.

    Great little piece of art Marie. Bravo.
