Seaize the Birthday ~ with a topping!

Welcome back for another Seize the Birthday challenge where our topping this time is using Kraft for your card base.  You are always able to make any kind of birthday card if you don't want to do the toppings!
I decided to go with a fall theme for this birthday card, I have some family members who have fall birthdays, so this is perfect! I used my kraft card base, then added a kraft dotted paper on top, with an added red strip at the top also.
stamps:PTI:  Autumn Hills (sentiment)
Dies:  PTI: to the Point edgers, Lawn Fawn: Stitched Leaves 
 Thank you for checking out my card, go check out the design team and all their inspiration for you!
See you in the gallery!
 
Heart Hugs, friends!

Your leaves are gorgeous Colleen; I love how you sponged them. What a terrific sentiment, too. There are a lot of autumn birthdays in my family and I could make good use of that stamp!

Hey Colleen,

So many things I like about your card. I like the way you broke it up with the polka dots DP. I like the tiny red stripe which pulls your card together by matching it with the bold fall leaves. And this sentiment is wonderful, I’ve never thought of adding the season to a birthday sentiment.
