Nothing says Christmas like some bright red flowers and they work really well for a birthday greeting as […]
STUCK ON BLACK AND WHITE

SENDING BIRTHDAY WISHES
Today, I’m adding a card to send birthday wishes. The colours used can be called traditional Halloween colours but I think they look good on this non-Halloween card too! Who said you can’t use Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry on a flower-y card? I haven’t used the Sending Smiles Bundle(158707) in quite a while and […]
