Birthday Wishes

Hi Friends! I hope you're having a great day! Its been snowy here.. which is throwing a cramp in my style because I have to get out there and shovel.. which seems to get harder as I get older! LOL! But it feels good to be out in the crisp winter air and appreciate the warm cozy house when I get back inside.

Today I'm playing along at Seize The Birthday where this time they're looking for Birthday cards with an optional topping of "Dichromatic". I wasn't sure what "dichromatic" meant either.. it means Use just two colors, with the optional addition of any combination of black, white, and common neutral colors.  No metallics allowed!
I'm using orange and yellow for my two colors - I hope the green leaves don't count.. I couldn't figure out a way around that! :P

My card starts with the background - an Outlined Butterfly panel over yellow cardstock. Next I added a Mistletoe Wreath and a Slim Shaker Circle stamped with a Birthday sentiment from Essential Celebrations popped up with adhesive foam tape inside.

I embellished the circle with florals from the Small Bouquet stamp set. The images are colored with Copic Markers.
The entire card is flat except the center circle with the sentiment and the florals. This adds dimension and makes this card so elegant.
I hope you like it and that you have a great day! Maybe you'll find some time to make too!
