This is absolutely gorgeous! Love the use of the poinsettia as a birthday flower.

If this card is playing it safe, I would love to see a risky card you have made. The flowers are wonderful and the sentiment is really eye catching. Then there is your lovely design all put together so well.

You rocked these colors!! Way to go on your first challenge! That large flower is gorgeous and I like the fancy fold and the paper piercing. Your sentiment is lovely, so elegantly scripted.
