One of my dearest friends turned 50 and it didn't go over well. I decided just to make fun of the whole process with this seasonal birthday card. Her favorite color has been coral for as long as I can remember, so that is the color of the base card. This new DP called out to me as appropriate for her mood in reaching this milestone birthday. I do hope it will make her laugh out loud. The drippy sentiment is MS. It's highlighted with Making Memories bat brads. I scalloped some SU DP under the sentiment for a little girly touch. The striped ribbon and coral gemstones were to relieve the total black and white look. I spelled out 'OF' with rough edged alphabets and stamped the 'birthdays' from the sentiment in It's your Birthday to create the unique sentiment. Sometimes, you just gotta laugh through these moments.
Thanks for looking and commenting. Best wishes to anyone else out there who is reaching their 50th! Repeat after me "It's just a number." :-)

It's just a number... it's just a number... it's just a number! BUT it's a big number LOL! I had mine this year too and I would have loved to receive a card like this one, it's stunning and so funny. I bet your friend will laugh her socks off and love it! I love the hint of coral that lifts the card just as you wanted. Fabulous!
