Happy Birthday

This musically-themed card is going to Bill Hall, our much loved former choir director who wielded a mighty baton at church when I was in high school . . .

I doubt there are many church choir directors in the country who are remembered with such joy by their high school students some sixty years later.  But Bill is an extremely unique guy who provided a wonderful influence on our young lives so many years ago.  It's a delight to be a small part of his special day!

The striped part of the card front brought a piano keyboard to mind, so I added a snippet of a musical score, an eighth note tied with some exuberant floss, a little sparkly bling, and a very emphatic Happy Birthday sentiment to finish things off. 

I don't know if Bill will burst into song when he opens the envelope, but I do think it will bring a smile to his face . . .
