Abstract
The present invention relates to pillow cases utilized for both decorative and functional sleeping purposes. The pillow case is adapted to receive caricature animal and other caricature character appendages principally at the pillow case corners. The pillow case corners are rounded to permit attachment of such appendages so that the appendages project to the side and thus do not unduly impact, infringe or intrude upon the functional sleeping area of the pillow case.
