Gluttonous gulls is a great title for these beach scavengers. I tried to capture this for my summer gallery but to fit it in the sizing is off. When I reduce the size, the speech bubbles are too small. If you can come up with another way to size this (450 pixels works the best), I can share it out. Great job with this design format.Carol Varsalonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589714711155938528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604430404780110710.post-73749067323944788842018-08-17T07:57:08.576-04:002018-08-17T07:57:08.576-04:00Love to watch gulls following the fishing/lobster ...Love to watch gulls following the fishing/lobster boats.
