A Cat in a Kilt!!!

Meet Scott, the cat who wears a kilt! He is my "Scottish cat in a Kilt".
And if you read this blog and you're of Scottish descent, please understand that I meant absolutely no disrespect to Scottish people whatsoever when I created this little paper doll. I had been watching some videos by Shannon Greene on Youtube and one video led to another and another. Well, after watching one about her paper dolls, I began flipping through a magazine and stumbled across the above cat in a Fresh Step cat litter ad. And with the way that he was standing (even though his paws were holding his "area"), I got the thought of "well wouldn't he look just darling in a kilt". Thus, the more I thought about it, the more I liked the idea of putting a kilt on that cat, so I did! And every time I looked at him, he made me smile. I mean, you have to admit that there is just something sort of hilarious about a cat wearing a kilt and doing the potty dance!
I never knew when I decided to make an "art paper doll" (or whimsical paper doll) that I would end up opening up a Pandora's box! However, that is exactly what has happened for me. I have opened up the gigantic Pandora's box of paper dolls! I am literally obsessed with paper dolls. Granted as a child I liked paper dolls well enough, but after about the age of 13 or so, I lost interest in them...until I created that cat in a kilt! Now I'm finding that I simply can not get enough fashion magazines and catalogs!!
