Google “candy cane mouse” in images and you'll get lots and lots of results, this is my version.
I initially downloaded a template from this site:-http://dawnsstampingthoughts.typepad.com/dawns_stamping_thoughts/2008/11/candy-cane-mouse.html (Thank you Dawn), but when I started making it I decided to change the colours, ears and face a little bit.
I’ve added large googly eyes and faux sticking, hoping to get a soft patchwork toy sort of effect. The ears are stuck on using a sticky foam pad for extra dimension.
This is my protype, the tape looks awful! It will be replaced by a thin strip of foam pad under the cane, that won't be seen. I was just in too much of a hurry to get the mouse photographed. So my apologies for the shonky and very unprofessional finish!!!

He looks so sweet.
I remember making these for my own grandkids when they were little! I think your blog may have been the one that inspired me.
