One seed can start a garden, one candle can light a room, one step can begin a journey, one conversation can start a friendship, one smile from a handmade card can lift one's SPIRIT!

Seize the Birthday ~ NO TOPPING!!

NO TOPPING this time folks for our Seize the Birthday Challenge!
You can make any kind of card as long as it is a birthday card, and please be sure to read the rules, we would hate to eliminate your card from being considered a winner because you didn't follow the rules!
I had colored up these pretty flowers from Avery Elle with zigs a while ago, so I pulled them out to use them!  I love this stamp set and the flowers!

stamps & dies:  Avery Elle:  Floral bouquet;  PTI: Background Basics: Text Style II
sentiment die:  Lawn Fawn 
 Thanks for stopping by,  I look forward to seeing your card in the gallery!
Heart Hugs, friends!
