This is a birthday card for a friend with a Nov. B-day. I like the way that the SEI Winnie's Walls patterned paper can look like either Spring or Fall depending on how you accessorize it. I tried to make this fun and perky, yet autumnal, too. As a blonde, my first instinct is to color hair yellow, but since the friend I will be giving this to is brunette, I went with brown. I think she's cute! I was looking through the gallery and noticed some people had put a little blush on her, so I did too, and I think it makes a difference. Using this stamp set reminds me of playing Barbies!

Ok, this is a beauty for sure.. but it also made me giggle! Those candles look like they're gonna burst! I would love to steal that idea for my mother in law's 80th birthday card.. she'd get a kick out of that!
