Happy Year of the Dragon!

Happy New Year!  

2012 is the Year of the Dragon and I recently had a request for cookies for a dinner party celebrating the Chinese New Year.

At first we talked about a dragon...

 However, this guy is 1) huge!  (5" wide x 4" tall) and 

2) a bit fairy-tale for an adult dinner party.

So, to match the invitation and decor we settled on this...

The Chinese character for Dragon!

Years of the dragon are

1904 * 1916 * 1928 * 1940 * 1952 * 1964 * 1976 * 1988 * 2000

 

Were you born under the sign of the dragon?

Some terms to describe those born under the sign of the dragon are: Innovative, Enterprising, Flexible, Self-assured, Brave & Passionate (along with Conceited, Tactless, Scrutinizing, Unanticipated & Quick tempered).

Wishing you a Peaceful and Prosperous 2012!
