Color-in Dragon Card

For Easter last year, my nephew sent us a lovely card that he had painted:



So cute, right?
I hadn't sent him an Easter card (such a bad auntie!), so I wanted to make him a special card in response.  Here's what I came up with:

Thank you Easter card: front.
Micron pen and colored pencil. 2015.

Thank you Easter card: inside.  8"x11" Micron pen. 2015

Thank you Easter Card: back



I though my nephew would enjoy getting to color in the dragon.  Instead, he asked my sister (his mom) many, many questions about the card.  Why was the bunny sitting on the egg?  Why did Aunt Laura and Uncle Chris decide to hatch the egg?  How did the dragon get inside?  How did the dragon get out?  My sister said that after asking all his questions and thinking about it a while, he turned to her with tears in his eyes and asked how he could get another egg like that one.
"I think he was distraught to learn he had mailed off something of such value without realizing its potential," my sister said.

Oh no!

Apparently he was only upset for a little bit, but I still felt bad!  So to make up for it, I decided to send him an egg of his very own.
