Time

This is a birthday card for my baby brother Gordy, who's not such a baby anymore.  Father Time has done his thing and we three sibs are Seniors now.  So I used an aged them for his card this year . . .

From my ephemera stash, I dug out the "Found Relative" baby picture on the little tag.  It is actually such a close resemblance to Gordy's real baby pictures that I couldn't resist adding this to his card.

With the die cut bird soaring over the word "Time", the idea was to make the viewer think, "Time Flies" . . . did you get it?  Or did I try too hard?
