What a pretty card Jayne!
I love the way you have created depth with your flutter of butterflies (I don't know if this is the correct term for a group of butterflies, I probably made it up but it seems appropriate) and having a centre opening makes them look like they are leaping out from the card.
I know your friend will love this card, I look forward to seeing more of your work. Welcome to Splitcoast.

How magical this looks to me! All those butterflies just seem to be fluttering softly on your card. WOW, I love the numbers too. Not that I'm anywhere close to that age...well I will be 48. (smile)
Loveley work, your friend is bound to cherish this gem! TFS

Welcome to SCS! Great card, I love the design. I like non-traditional cards, especially ones that open differently and this one is terrific. It is very elegant and beautiful. I look forward to seeing more of your cards! TFS
