Birthday Greetings
Michele Emerson-Roberts 2014
Recently a friend gave me a bag of old greeting cards that she had been saving. The cards represented many holidays and celebrations themes. I separated the cards by category and filed them away for future use.

I
had just finished several sheets of handmade petal paper and remembered that I
needed a birthday card for the very friend who had given me the bag of cards. I
checked the stash of cards from her and found the perfect one to die cut and
use for her BD card! Wonder if she will notice? Smile.
