Rubber Ducky Birthday Tags - My theme is Fancy Smancy

August is my birthday month so I got my birthday tags.  I could hardly wait.  Here are the works of art I received from my friends.  I LOVE them all!!!

Now I need to find a way to display all these wonderful pieces of art.  I think I will try to make a screen by linking them side by side and have them zigzag so they will stay up.
