love, love these colors, Emily! and a perfect choice for me today as I needed to make a birthday card for a gal who is turning the big 1/2 century tomorrow! We've got so many gag gifts for her...it's gonna be fun!
Of course this wonderful Art Impressions stamp was my focal point, stamped on GP white cs and colored with Copics. I popped the cake and added stickles to the candles and flames. My beauties dress is paper pieced with BG sultry floral paper. I used a Daisy Bucket clear acrylic stamp (feel Better!) inked in VersaColor Black and embossed with clear. My SU kiwi kiss bg is cuttled with the traffic ef. I stamped the Happy Birthday onto the tangerine tango. The balloon paper is BG cupcake which I colored the white balloon's as close to SU pixie pink as I could.
Thanks so looking and your comments are always appreciated!

I thought I saw fire in your thumbnail version. First thought, Susan's never done anything with fire! Okay, now I get it.
Great humor; perfect card for your much older half century coworker. They'll all get a hoot out of this one. Great card!

This is too, too, fun!!! Hah, that sentiment is hilarious--you are such a wit!! When I saw the thumbnail, I didn't know if it was another chapter in the Anne and Deborah saga. How perfect is that dp for a housedress!!! I love your creative mind on paper.

I had a feeling that some shade of orange might be part of the color challenge this week. And it would be no problem for you!! Very fun and very creative!!
