Captain Whalen's big joke

Good morning all! Its Easter Saturday and my beautiful little girls are watching Peter Pan so that mummy can 'play on the computer!!!' That's what they call it!
We had a great day at the zoo yesterday but when we got home I was just itching to get this card made ready to upload this morning!

What do you think? Its for my nephew Henry who's going to be 9 soon. It incorporates my daughter Lucy's favourite joke of the moment! The reason it has that on it is partly because they're having a make us laugh challenge over at dude time doodles - so since I won captain whalen on a recent blog hop it really seemed rude not to use him! I think he's fab and will certainly be making a few more appearances I think in my upcoming male cards!
Other things I've used include two circle dies to create the lifebuoy ring - and the papers came from QVC years and years ago. The brads are tool brads from my stash and the shells came from the beach! The twine and netting are also from my stash and Captain Whalen is from Dude Time Doodles!

I'd like to enter his card into the foloowing challenges:
