Hello fellow Gatherites!

 Please help me come up with a name for my newest "stained-glass-canvas" painting of a squirrel. (Yes, this is somewaht based on my photo of an aggressive squirrel in my own backyard that I posted on Gather.com a few weeks ago.) You may suggest as many names as you can think of, in one or multiple posts. After a reasonable number of suggestions have been made, I will narrow the field down to a "Final Five" and then the gatherites will vote for their favorite.

There are prizes! Each of the commentors whose name suggestion is chosen for the Final Five will receive (eventually!) a pack of five blank-inside note cards and envelopes featuring the painting. The overall winner will also receive a photographic print of the artwork.

Thanks for playing, and ... have fun!

LOL April. I don't know what to name it, but it sure is cute Jimmie!
Margaret C. Harmon May 18, 2007, 1:47pm EDT
I love stain glass and your squirrel is great. I would name it "Just Try It" as it looks like it is on a roof. It is a spoof to warn anyone who trys to get him or her off the roof. Another would be "Eyes For You."

How about "Scrat's Back"! !!

I love this little guy! He's sooooooo cute. You have such awesome talent Jimmie! There used to be a squirrel that lived in the tree next to the house where I grew up in MN. Every year he would show up and I used to feed him. He was very friendly and would come right up to me. Of course my mom would freak out because she thought it was going to bite me or something. He never did, when other people would come around he would not come out. He was my squirrel! :-)

Here are some names for you painting:

"Squirrel Love"
"Squirrel Portrait"
" Buddy Nut"
"Squirrel in Color"
"Squirrel in Stained glass"
"friendly critter"
"Nature's Cutie"
"God's little one"

I like the idea of a top ten first. This naming contest is a popular one. It seems we relate well to cute animals.

"Don't go nuts - I'm watching you"

I love this painting. LOL I am nearly envious because you seem to be able to find time to work so much and be on such a roll. Fortunately it is only nearly LOL - I want to celebrate with you because you sound like you are on a very creative high these days. Have yuou always been so productive?

I must admit I would not mind getting those not cards :-)))

I give him a 10 for a great painting. I didn't get in on this in time to add my 2 cents worth.
