ACEO SWAP #3... the art that was created!

Thank you to everyone who participated in our 3rd swap, it's so much fun to see the variety of art being created. The ACEO's are still going through the mail but these are the cards that have arrived at their destinations so far. I am holding back any images of cards that have not arrived yet so as not to spoil anyone's surprise  Also some have chosen to send an extra card, or other goodies, I have posted them here too.
