This is my entry for the SCBWI Tomie dePaola Competition. I had a dilemma scanning a full sheet watercolour/ink work as when I went to do it I was warned that it could be damaged in the drum scanner.

I am SCARED but am so going to try to do this but I am terrible usually doing a daily project everyday over a long period if I am not being paid. I am always cramming.
