The sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches is a fun one! I like how the focal point can be "any shape." I thought about some of the stamp sets that haven't had much love lately and "Sea Street" came to mind. I love that octopus. I decided to make him the focal point and he fit nicely into a circle ...
