This,little,porcupine design is so cute...you could even adapt him a bit to be a hedgehog, if that is your fancy! The colors are pretty and the instructions are just great! If you have different decor, you could change out the paint colors to suit you. This would make a cute baby shower gift. Thanks for sharing!
