I made this last night for Sabrina's WTUI Challenge - Hoop It Up. I was about to photograph the card when the battery in my camera went flat and, of course, my spare battery was flat, too, wasn't it??
I wanted to do something different so die cut lots of different circles using this beautiful Kaisercraft designer paper. The 3 top circle rings are raised up, using dimensionals. Arranged on the embossed card. I die cut the sentiment 3 times, the top layer using the same designer paper.
I feel like this card needs something extra, maybe in the centre of the circles but I tried butterflies, flowers, charms, you name it, and they just didn't look right. Any ideas would be gratefully received - or is this just fine as is?
TFL!

I think your card is very well balanced, Sue! Having the Happy on one end and Birthday on the other end, the 2 smaller circles on the outside with the larger in the center, add the ef and it's complete! Nope, don't need a thing IMHO! Beautiful as it is, and you wouldn't want to take away from that gorgeous dp, now would you~

Clever design with the interlocking circles (kind of reminds me of the Olympics logo). That dp is really cool and I like how you added that embossed layer....the embossing is similar in design to the paper. I think it's great as is....

Into my favourites as it is - so no, I don't think it needs anything extra at all, Sue! I love your hoops and solid circles and gorgeous rich colours. Thank you for being so imaginative and creative with your circles today!
