7 year old Birthday Card

My baby boy turns 7 tomorrow. Where in the world did 7 years go?? This is his birthday card. And like any normal stamping mother would do - I made this card to double as a demonstration at a workshop a few weeks ago. We must mulit-task when necessary. Sorry for the terrible picture (and why is it turned sideways? - never had that happen before, but it's too late to worry about it now) here's the details: Card base is tempting turquoise, other colors are wild wasabi, real red, more mustard and basic black. The circle is a chipboard center popped out of some flower or something. I thought this was a great way to use up those random pieces. The Take a Number wheel was wheeled accross the wasabi and then again on red with the 7 being cut out. Celebrate from Hugs and wishes stamped in black and the Crop-a-dile punched the hole in the chipboard for the black gingham ribbon to tie it all together. Oh and stars from Background Basics are stamped on the mustard strip but its hard to see in the photo. ~Heidi
