IMT prompt- Polka Dot & AFC prompt-A Little Ray of Sunshine

Dottie was a dancing fool. The Waltz, Fox Trot, 2 Step, she loved them all. But the dance she was most passionate about was the Polka.  No matter where she was when she heard the Polka music start she would dance around the room. It is no wonder she earn the nick name "Polka Dot"

It has been a crazy weekend and I had to do the 2 for one deal here.

I started this illustration for A Fashionable Challenge when it posted last Thursday. I had come across this sun dress a few weeks ago when doing research for another prompt. I loved it and knew that it would be the model for this weeks prompt.
As I was working on AFC, IMT posted The polka dot prompt.
Both seemed to meld for me into one. I  use scrapping paper for backgrounds with all of my paper doll cutouts. the illo is
 8 1/8" x 11" and she is done with watercolor colored pencils and tombow pens.

Enjoy
