I kept the layers minimal and left off embellishments on this card because it is heading to the Sunshine Society. My MIL volunteers for the society in her town, which amongst other things, sends out Birthday cards to every resident over 80. She asked if I could save any free cards I got in the mail, etc, but of course I have to make some! I figured I better leave buttons off this card though to limit bulk and avoid any special mailing requirements.Thanks for stopping by and be sure to spread some sunshine today!
Smiles,
Julie
