I saw this inspiration photo for the Monday Mood Board at the WPlus9 blog and knew I had to play along - it just looks like a party going on doesn't it? Dawn, the creator of WPlus9 and her husband are both celebrating a birthday this month so of course I made a birthday card! I packed lots of color in this one - I hope I didn't go overboard - it was like a snow ball rolling down a hill - just getting bigger and bigger as it went! Totally out of my control folks - like my friend Joyce says - sometimes cards just make themselves!! I tried to grab as many of the elements from the photo I could - the colors, twine, polka dots and chevrons!
