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 ~ with a touch of red!

Hi friends!  We are winding down Seize the Birthday Challenge for the year... to take a break and celebrate the holidays with friends and family!
Our last challenge of 2019 is hosted by Glenda and she asked for a touch of RED on our birthday card!



I used a cute little balloon from a retired company called Life of the Party by Fresh Squeezed Stamps.  My sentiment is a die from PTI and the stamped sentiment is PTI Birthday Cheer.
We will be back in 2020!
In the meantime, I will look for your touch of red card in the gallery!
If you don't want to play along with the topping, then just make any kind of birthday card!



Heart Hugs, friends!

For some reason I have stopped getting your posts in my news feed and I've missed a bunch! Great tags you've made and I do love this card. It makes me happy with that red balloon floating among the others.

Great idea to just have one red balloon, Col! And I love that your other color is gray, making it a great card for either gender!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!! Hugs, Darnell

Carrying over from your touch of red tag, this single touch of red balloon was exactly what came to mind when I saw the challenge twist. Great card.
