Owl in the Family

Hello Friends,

Don't you just love Owls? I think they are so majestic but in today's card simply adorable! 

Did you know:

• Unlike most animals, they have three eyelids: one for blinking, second for sleeping, and third for keeping eyes tidy.
• Owls don’t have ears as such, but they do have slits on both sides of the head, just behind their facial disks.
• The female owls are heavier and feistier than the male owls. They can weigh as much as 25% more than the males.
• Owls can communicate with different sounds.
• Owls have an exceptional hearing capability. They can hear the movement of their prey from a long distance. Moreover, they can open and close their ears.
• Even though owls like to live aloof, but interestingly a group of owls is called “Parliament” because owls are considered as the birds with wise character.
• Owls have long been found in France’s cave paintings, Egyptian hieroglyphics, and in Mayan art, which shows that they have been artistic symbols since the ancient period.
• Elf owl is the smallest specie of owl, weighing about 31 g and measuring 13.5 cm.
• The great grey owl is the longest owl that measures between 70 cm to 84 cm, while the similar-sized eagle owls—the eurasian eagle owl and blackiston’s fish owl—are the heaviest ones.
• The eggs of an owl do not hatch at the same time as they are laid at the intervals of 1 to 3 days.
• Owls were often associated with the god of death, Aztec.
• In the hindu mythology, owl is considered as the vahana of goddess Lakshmi.

So on to my card; This is called a center side step card. It's the kind of card you would give to someone to place on their desk at work, so that every time they look at it brings a smile to their face. I made an owl family relaxing in the sunshine. I just love this card!! I hope you do too.
