Minibeasts

Minibeasts was a difficult prompt for me, because I am really not a fan of them.  All I could come up with is this tribute to the only spider I can stand to think about: Charlotte, from Charlotte's Web by E.B. White.
 
Because I have such vivid memories of my teacher reading us this book in school, probably around 2nd grade, the theme of my tag is school days; the base is an actual 1930's report card with its handwritten grades and notes. I embellished it with an actual scan of the book's illustration of the web Charlotte made:
Other details include a piece of torn antique cardstock with an embossed farm scene, the words, childhood memories, washi tape with a pencil and scissors, and a cute little lamb torn from an earlier project.  Notice there is no actual depiction of the minibeast, Charlotte.  I couldn't go there.
Coincidentally, the report card recipient got an A+ in literature.  She might have been a little bookworm, like me!
