Beccy's Place Blog Challenge

 This is my entry for Beccy's Place October Blog Challenge.  This month the optional twist is a colour theme.  I have used the free coloured sheet (thank you Beccy) and the "Little Donkey Set", which I see in the shop is retired.  

I love this donkey and as it happens my daughter has got into donkeys on their property, and hopefully in a couple of weeks we will get up there.  I haven't seen any of them yet, but there is at last count 11.

Don't despair however, there are other great animal digital stamps to choose from.
