Becky chooses some of the most beautiful color palettes IMO. Today her chosen colors are:
Baked Brown Sugar
Crisp Cantaloupe
Wisteria Wonder
Very Vanilla (neutral)
I chose not to add the dessert of a pin or clip. I also used white rather than vanilla as a neutral.
I've always loved handmade Italian marbled papers, so I was delighted to see Serendipity Stamps had a backgrounder which mimicked the look of these designs. I used it as the basis of this b'day card...keeping the rest rather simple since there is so much going on with this pattern.

Your emboss resist and sponging, Sallie, is awesome. Makes for such a beautiful bg for your sentiment. Whoever the recipient (man or woman), they will be sure to LOVE it

Sallie,
This is so soft and soothing! The background has a lot going on but due to your placement of this weeks colors it is not overwhelming - just eye pleasing!!
