Helping Hudson - Challenge 7 Sketch

After stopping by at the local market and voting this morning in Australia's Federal election, I got down to the serious business of stamping (not who is going to rule Australia)!!! I just had to finish the Helping Hudson Challenges this one being a sketch challenge. I did stray a little off the design by just put the ribbon under the box so hopefully it still meets the requirements.
