Thank you Jewel for submitting photos of the Ant Farm Picnic Casserole Cover - they turned out beautifully. In the photo on the left, Jewel works a checkerboard style using red and white while in the photo on the right she uses a variegated color.

Jewel writes: "My daughter had the ant farm picnic casserole sitting on her table. A friend stopped in to see her, they were standing there talking and her friend looked over at the cover and actually though the ants were real, she walked over to have a closer look, then realized they weren't. She was quite impressed with the whole cover."
