Hi Carla:> This is so adorable! The idea is fun, and the gentle watercolor treatment is purely delightful. I just saw that you have me on your blogroll, so I’ve added you to mine. It’s fun to be in the company of other Carlas:>

So cute and clever. The upside down sky is the perfect finishing touch to an already adorable concept.
Thanks for the link to the cat haiku too, by the way. Made my day!!
