Flappy Birthday!

 I used soft pastel colors for this card. CS and DP are both Recollections. Pastel Enamel Dots are also Recollections and the Sparkly Enamel Dots are from Close to my Heart.

I colored the image with SN Markers and used Glossy accents on the balloon and eyes of the 3 birdbrains. :o) I cut out the image and Sentiment with Nesting Circles from Lifestyle Crafts.

I used the same DP and CS inside the card as well.
