1996 Digging In (Mouse)

This early-spring ornament (dated 1997 on official Hallmark listing) features a charming little mouse in overalls, digging in a packet of rosemary seeds with a spade—part of the “Spring” or “Easter / Garden” themed offerings by Hallmark. The design by artist Ed Seale shows the mouse with a seed packet labelled “Rosemary” and a shovel, capturing a playful gardening motif. A nice fit for collectors of seasonal ornaments or “mouse/mice” themed keepsakes.
