Can you squeeze another digit in, say a 7? Then he could be the 007
pirate, licensed to kidnap.

yo- be careful of the #7 , it is tricky !!

ok, I'm LMAO - because I did the same thing with my initials on my personal
stamp, and also spent LOTS of time designing and carving it. didn't
discover the error until I first stamped in with it - with a group of
family members who dropped to the ground laughing when they saw
it. Everyone made my promise not to change it; that's what makes it
"special"! So I left it and have a chuckle every time I use it - so just
enjoy your own "uniqueness"!

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to take a look at the
pirate when I get home. I think I might be able to squeeze a 7 on
that hat. I'm sure it will be off-centered, but a 007 pirate is
better than a 00 pirate.

Thanks for the help.

P.S. I'll probably make the "7" backwards.

Hey Debbie T (the bee),

There are now two of us out there. Hope our paths cross someday. But as I get closer to my 100 finds I'll be adding something to my stamp so that may cut the confusion.

I take a real soft lead pencil and print or draw my image on tracing
paper..flip it over then rub it on the eraser .....Works EVERY time !
Plus with the tracing paper you can line the artwork up where you need
it to be.

Wouldn't he be dead then? He could be a ghost pirate from the U.S.S
Hornet. Maybe not, it's not the right time period.

---Finally, a sound idea! I've tried many different ways to get the
image right. I'm never satisfied with how it turns out. Thanks,

Maybe they aren't zeros on his hat...maybe they are the eyeballs from one of
his victims...Just a little Halloween spirit left in me...*grin*

Double zero is one of the "house" numbers in roulette. When 00 comes up,
everybody loses, so it might make sense for a pirate to wear it!
