Thirty years ago, in 1980, McDonald's began pushing their new breakfast meals. They came up with their first female character. Her name was Birdie the Early Bird. This is my version of her. Was anyone else, besides me born and remember little Birdie? She looks pretty good for 30! The Illustration Friday prompt this week is "early".
