I used this week's sketch and a color challenge from a couple weeks ago to make this card. I'd already done the main panel and was looking for a sentiment when I came across "Happy Retirement", which I thought would be appropriate for someone who's gone fishin'!
TFL!

Super cool card for that special guy who is retiring. Unless you happen to be a girl who likes to fish.

Terrific retirement card....especially for someone who is looking forward to spending time fishing in their newly-found leisure time. Beautiful choice of colors.

Fabulous retirement card. I can't imagine anything more restful than fishing, or just sitting back watching fish swim.

This is a striking image of the fish and coral reef -- beautifully done!
