This is my late entry for the TSC. Thanks so much Shirley, for picking my gallery this week!!! I made it for my dh's friend, who is also turning 40 this week.
I cased this card; Happy 60th by Darla Ryan at Splitcoaststampers
I used real red and more mustard cs, instead of real red and pumpkin, and used hemp twine instead of paper piercing. I colored my little crab scene with metallic art pencils. The sentiment is different, too, and I added some flat silver brads, which were a gift from my friend, Thonz!
Thanks for looking!!!

Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.

That is so cute and funny. Love the scene, I especially love those eyes on the crab and the shell. That little hat on the crab is too funny. Great job coloring the whole thing. TFS
