LITTLE OCTOPUS

My wife recently spotted a little octopus online.  She kept bugging me to make one for her.  I finally broken down and designed this cute little octopus for her.  Unfortunately, it lead to me making her five of them in five different colors.  The one in the picture is pink because that was the color that she picked for the first one.
