Honesty thread: I really like this as it is. I love the way you crimped the wheeled bit - looks really effective. If you really wanted to change it, perhaps add some sort of blue charm/embellishment - maybe thread a blue wooden bead if you have such a thing - at the right hand side of the raffia to balance out the blue... but it's not really necessary as you've balaned the blue yourself by using two pieces anyway.

Honesty Thread: Very nice!! My only suggestion would be to make Happy Birthday be in the navy to stand out more. That would add a bit more POP to the front! Cute card.... I am always on the fence about this set..... one of these days.......

Honesty thread: Love it just the way it is! The raffia is perfect with this set and I really like the two pieces of navy in the corners. Crimping the background was a really nice touch.

Honesty thread: You did a nice job with it! Crimping the wheeled part is a nifty touch. I do agree with JSbrooketrout's suggestion of stamping the Happy Birthday in NQNavy - but maybe do it as an overstamp of the Mustard, so you get a shadow effect.
