I flip flopped out the colors making the red the primary panel rather than the black. I changed the image, made the lantern an oval shape rather than round. Both the background dp and the top and bottom of the lantern is a VERY glossy mirror finish gold cardstock, but I guess when scanning the light from the scanner reflects off the paper and it looks almost black. The cherry red paper I embossed with what reminds me of bamboo and thought it would compliment the Asian feel. Added gold brads, and there you have it.
Sure hope my son enjoys it half as much as I enjoyed making it. Thanks for looking and really appreciate your comments.

What a sweet Mom you are. Working to make this card something your son would like. It's such a joy as a Mother to please our children no matter their age. It's a lovely card . I think your red background is perfect.
