False Sense of Security: 3


There may be hell to pay with a certain investment firm and a certain credit card company if they get a look at this. The top lizard's camouflage is the inside of a Charles Schwab envelope; the bottom one is shielded by an AmEx promo. I confess to feeling mighty insecure when making this. Someone got my AmEx card number and charged a gazillion airline tickets. Okay, only 7. None were in my name and none originated or ended in Ohio. Mighty suspicious. Even so, the activity wasn't flagged 'til half the tickets were bought and, then, it was via an e-mail sent on a weekend. Suffice it to say the card is history. Was kinda sad; it was my first credit card and made me feel like I'd made it, because back then you had to have a certain income to qualify. 6" x 4.5" on acid-free watercolor paper.
