First off I would like to acknowledge that this card is weird. You'll understand my inspiration shortly...well, it could be that I like Elvis and yes, he's an icon and he was a pioneer in rockabilly. The banner is made out of a blue suede type paper..another Elvis reference..but..why is most of the card blue you ask?? It's because my FAVORITE type of music is "The Blues" !!!!! I really have an eclectic taste in music..from classical to 60's rock to Celtic...I've sung in a lot of choirs but Blues just puts a smile on my face...in fact I'm smiling right now listening to Johnny Winter (hey, Hwy 61 ran through my hometown!). So for those of you uninitiated..give Blues a try...hey BB King might be in his 80's but he's got it..so do those young guys like Jonny Lang and Kenny Wayne Shepherd...OK..I'll be quiet now but if you see a smile on my face you know why...

Oh my, I just spotted Elvis! ; ) There he is again and he looks so good in blue, in fact, all your choices of blues for this card look good, Polly! I love the ribbon ? up the left side and how did you ever get a hold of blue suede for the banner? That's just too wild!

LOVE your card and all the blues and that great border! The Elvis references are great--his was one of the BEST concerts I ever went to. My Dad is a southern boy and he loves the blues, too.
