Happy 90th!

My previous post showed the banner I made for my friend Richard for his 90th birthday.  Now we come to the birthday card . . .

 


This accordion style card was a lot of fun to put together.  There are a number of videos online with helpful tips on how to assemble it but I found the process to be quite logical and not difficult, and much faster than I expected.  One tip:  make sure to completely decorate each panel before you link them together.  Clearly, it’s much easier to work on a flat surface than on an accordion folded one.
