Bonsai Birthday

Photo Details

Poster: Miss Minx

For today's color challenge---gray, chocolate, and green. I don't know what Gumball Green looks like so I used Garden Green---hope that's close?

For my brother-in-law for his birthday---he has been babying a bonsai tree for years.

I think this card also fits with this month's DD theme and inspiration photo.

Thanks for looking :)

This is beautiful! Love the light grid behind the bonsai image and the way the sentiment wraps around the corner. And the charm too. Awesome job!

What a gorgeous Asian-themed design! The patterns mix nicely with the twists and turns of the bonsai. I bet your BIL will love this.
