House Mouse Holey Fishbowl

In my brain this seemed like a really cool way to interpret the Aperture Challenge at House Mouse & Friends, but I’m not sure it translated to reality as cool. An aperture is a hole or opening in the front of your card. I piled on a few other challenges as well to make it even trickier. (Please see the Ins and Outs for links to the challenge websites and feel free to join in the fun).
