Thanksgiving Pilgrims and Indians

My two youngest grankids were so sad when the Halloween decorations were packed up, so I cut out the Pilgrims and Indians from the Cricut Thanksgiving cartridge for them to put on their mantle.  I also cut out the main imagine in thin board (cereal box) to give it some sturdiness.  I cut them at 10 3/4" and after assembling and putting them beside each other, noticed that the lady Pilgrim and Indian were taller even though they were cut at the same size.  I may remake these for them next year and downsize them just a tad but the grankids were tickled with them and they didn't notice or care that the sizes were a little bit off.  I am submitting this for a challenge at the Fantabulous Cricut Blog http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/2012/11/challenge-me-monday-137-pilrgrims.html .  The picture doesn't show the colors because the picture was taken with a cel phone .  The sign "Faith, Family, Friends" and the little owl and squirrel on a strawberry are wood and ceramic but could easily be done with the Cricut, too.  The faces on the Cricut cuts are hand drawn.
