Getting older is just a part of life...

(inside)   ....YOU go first!!!

My DB's birthday is just a few days away.  Too bad he lives so far away.  I'm sending several cards and spreading them out over a few days just for fun.

I'm almost embarrassed to show this card being so CAS.  I wanted to add more, but I really wanted the background paper to shine.  I think he will be happy just knowing I sent a card(s).

This is Melvin from Art Impressions....one of the many I colored several months back and just now getting around to putting it on a project.

    Sometimes less is more. This card is great. And besides, that's one reason we buy all this paper! To let it shine!

    This is such a hysterical masculine image. The CAS design is perfect and so is your choice of background paper. Great birthday card!
