EMPOLEON

This is the next in probably a long list of requests from an Etsy customer of mine.  Empoleon is second stage evolution of one of the starters from Pokemon Diamond/ Pearl – Piplup.  Piplup is one of my daughter’s favorites from the game.  Of course, she usually always chooses the water starter when she plays, no matter the version.  Making Empoleon will probably cause me to have make Piplup for my daughter.  When I do, I will post that pattern as well.  Empoleon, in my opinion, is an oversized penguin.  This pattern includes the color list for Empoleon and Shiny Empoleon.
