"GREAT squares, Patricia....I LOVE a bobble square (when someone else makes it) My fave is the star."
"Didn't make it here, either, Bev, or maybe I'm just too old??? Either is a good possibility, but the Parsley Lion is a cutie."
"Bobbles are always fun, Patricia. The children will definitely befriend the little bunny."
"I fancied making some bobble squares. The top one is a bunny rabbit and, although I feel the nose/mouth area looks a bit confused, I hope the ears will be enough to give it away!"
"More from the Pumzile Gogos."

CREATECARE GLOBAL
"CreateCare Global has set itself two tasks. The first is physical: to bring hope, support and comfort to children for whom poverty and loss are everyday tormentors. The second, and in our view equally important, is to spread the message to the world."
Our thanks to CreateCare Global for supporting the Square Circle Forum and helping to spread the wonderful work that KAS does.
