Hi Michael,

I like it!  The rowboat looks good turned backwards and you chose a good

space.  The manta fits in good as well.  Better than in my entry.  The
Wibble is fun too.  I laughed out loud when I saw it.  What did you use to
hold it together?  The single eye is perfect.  Maybe you need to build a
whole wibble civilization.  Way to go!
