Just whipped up a birthday card for a friend, and played along with a few challenges for inspiration. The inside of the card has the continuation of the exterior sentiment: "THE CANDLES COST MORE THAN THE CAKE!" It always makes me laugh but I have to make sure to give it to someone who has a good sense of humor!

Such a cute cheerful birthday card! I love that sentiment! Thanks for joining us at Atlantic Hearts Sketches.
Wow! You incorporated all those fun elements so nicely. This will be a fun card for someone to receive. We all need good birthday chuckles these days. Thank you for joining us at Atlantic Hearts this week.
What a pretty card, Cheryl! Love your coordination of colors based on the floral pattern paper. The card itself looks like a cake! Lots of texture with your dotted Swiss embossing and use or rick-rack trim. Thank you for sharing your creative talents with us at Double Trouble!!! -Donna
Love the combination of the yellow polka-dot embossing folder against the floral paper. I purchased a bulk pack of this floral by mistake so Our Little Crop Group got a couple sheets each. Still have some left over love this combination which makes me want to pull these sheets out of my stash and do a box of cards for a gift. Love the sentiment but wondering what it said on the inside. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble and AHSC.

Love the funny sentiment! That's perfect to put part of it on the outside and the rest of it on the inside. Thank you for sharing your cute card with us at Double Trouble! :)
