Relax!

It's late May which has brought warmer more pleasant weather. People are working on their gardens and relaxing outdoors, just like this little fella. Doesn't he look peaceful? 

I've used the new Dream Flower House-Mouse Designs® Rubber Stamp by Stampendous with one of the sentiments from the House-Mouse Designs® Mini Clear Stamp Set.
