Birthday Wishes

Continuing with the red, white, and blue color scheme – which I think is terrific at any time of the year – this card is for Justin, who's turning six . . .

My stash of youth-oriented stamps is pretty much zip:  I have an adorable image of an antique teddy bear and that's it.  Justin is way past that phase, so I figured that a cake image would make a great fall-back for any age, right?

There's plenty of sparkle on this card, but as usual, the greedy camera ate it all.
