I actually made this the same day this challenge was announced WT489 - Lots of Dots. I got stuck on how to finish it, so I am very late...again...
My dots are: the Swiss Dot EF, the dots in the die cut scalloped edge, along the edges of my velvet ribbon, and all my pearls!
The bow is an SVG file cut on my Cricut.The edges are the A2 Scalloped Borders One.
I cut the Memory Box Butterfly edge at my die club so I do not own it.I used two Crafty Ann "Happy Birthday " cuts glued together to give more dimension. I cut the piece between the embossing at the top at my die club and it is a Anna Griffin die cut.
This card is for my dear friend Mary of 25+ years. Mary is being treated for bone cancer and each year that she celebrates a birthday is a gift for us all! She loves my monochromatic cards so I made her this one with lots of love in my heart.

Peggy, you put so much thought into your creations, and it shows. This is a show stopper. Your friend should love it. Thanks for sharing your beautiful card. Fav'd tfs
OMG Peggy, you've done it again! This is STUNNING and you are going to force me to have to buy some of those "edge" dies and then I'm going to have to name you as an "enabler" in my divorce proceeding...LOL
