This week's Free for All Challenge is "Cards with Character" - make a card that directly reflects something about the person for whom you are making it. It's my friend Gerald's birthday - he is very involved in the theatrical world so this quote from Shakespeare is a perfect birthday wish for him. He's also Dutch in origin so orange is an important colour for him so I sponged around the sentiment with various shades of orange and mounted everything on a burnt orange card base. And his birthday is in the fall so I used a dp background of autumn leaves.

Neat birthday card! Love the thought you put into it ... his love of theater, orange for his Dutch heritage and his Autumn birthday ... I'm sure Gerald will treasure it!

How nicely you incorporated these three things about him into this pretty but masculine card!!

Your friend should be very happy with this creation. I love the paper and the awesome colors you used for sponging.
