I love this card Kathy - perfect for even a chap as the flower isn't predominant. Great layout and colours as well! Good to see you in the Playground.

Hugs

Lovely coherent card, Cathy! The tan is the perfect background colour for the orange panel, all of them set off beautifully by the black matting. Thanks for playing along with us at Seize The Birthday 🥳
