Orange and turquoise? Yes, please! My favorite color combo. But fussy cutting? No, thank you. I have a ScanNCut to do that for me. LOL! But I fussy cut my image just for Jeanne
My mother in law asked me to make a birthday card for her boyfriend and I think he'll like this fun Bugaboo image. I've been wanting to make a card using SC37 because I really like this sketch. I thought I would just print "Gus" onto the tag shape, but since I needed to fussy cut today, I needed a different plan. So I cut a tag out of white cardstock and heat embossed this cute birthday background onto it. Sponged it with Tangelo and ended up with a really fun backdrop.

Oh Jennifer, you make such fun cards, and this one is right up there at the top of the fun meter. This image is hilarious and one that Gus will surely love. The way you did your tag is so creative and something I would never have thought to do so thank you for the inspiration on this! Love the polka dots too! ~Karen.

I love the way you took that tag to the next level with the emboss resist and sponging. Gus looks like he's not Quite ready to admit that childhood is over . . . . .or is this the proverbial 2nd childhood?? Just and overall fun card!

Oh, Jen, what a fun and funny card! I LOVE it and love Gus's expression! As we say here in South Florida, "If you don't die, you're going to get old!" LOL! (We have a lot of oldies here!) But truly, I love the sketch and love your coloring and fun computer-generated sentiment! That triggered a visit to The Hungry JPEG and a few "deal" purchases. Hehe! Hugs, sweet friend! xoxo
