Bright Birthday

Good morning!  I have a bright, bold birthday card to share with you today.  Every time I think of this particular friend of mine, I'm filled with happiness and these bright colors seemed to convey the happy feeling inside my heart.  

I started by cutting several of the largest strip in the Simple Strips Dies and creating my background pattern.  Next, I stamped lots and lots of Spring Flowers in a rainbow of colors and cut them out using the Coordinating Dies,

I arranged the flowers around a sentiment from my scrap pile.  Long ago I cut the Happy Birthday Script Dies, mounted them on white, and fussy cut it out.  I'm glad all the cutting didn't go to waste. :) 

The final touch was to add Cherry Red Pearls to the centers of a few flowers to tie all that red in.

I sure hope this card brings a smile to your face today.  I know I can't help but smile every time I see it.  I just love making cards for people!
