Haha, you're right!!! He totally does. I was thinking black french knots, but I don't know if they'd show up well?? Also, I figured since he was essentially a mock up (the real gifts for the kids will have eyes and embelishments), I could add his eyes when I decided between the french knots and small black buttons :D

We've dubbed him "Pachy" and he was created to live on my husbands desk at work (my hubby is such a good sport!).

I'm going to make Pachy some friends this week to accompany a baby quilt I'm finishing for some friends of ours who just had their third. The elephants will go to the big brother and big sister :D

Just a note *The Oregon Zoological Gardens in Portland, Oregon has a real elephant named "Packy". I remember a contest at school when he was born, (when I was a child) to name him. (I believe he was the first elephant born in North America.)

Love your little "Pachy-derm".... (pachyderm) Just the right name for a little elephant. Cute as can be. Makes me want one.
