Happy Birthday to You....

I've been thinking about this card for quite a while and I'm not sure I got it exactly how I imagined.  But, it was fun to do!  For some reason, this Veranda paper pack just reminds me of my mother.  She hates yellow, but, the Creme Brulee has such an earthy tone, I don't think it counts! ;O)  Her birthday snuck up on me and I cannot believe Thanksgiving is in TWO days...where has this year gone!!

This was the first time in forever that I haven't used a sketch to put the card together.  I'm not sure that's a surprise!! ;O)  But, I was trying to keep it simple and I think I accomplished that at least!
