The Country-Mini shapes may be grouped together to make larger scenes. Since birds flock together, these Geese are a great subject for groupings. The grouping does not have to be of similar designs, so do not be afraid to try a barn yard scene with Cow, Pig, Chicken, etc. or maybe a childs project with a mix of Gingerbread Men and Teddy bears.
