Family birthdays are coming

Our family birthdays are mostly grouped together. We have four in Sept. then three in Oct. Then we go to only one in Feb. and two more three days apart in May. I made this card for my oldest son and I'm not thrilled with it but he will like the motorcycle. The white against the silver isn't good so I may remake it if I have time. I welcome suggestions.

I just talked to the people who make yardsticks. They aren't going to make them any longer. 







Be kind to one another.

This looks great for a masculine card with the silver diamondplate panels and motorcycle! LOL at the yardstick funny now that it sunk in. It took me a while :)

I think your card is great as is. The motorcycle shows up really well. I love the embossed silver accents.

I love this card Brenda! It's a great masculine card. Maybe next time use some black ink or a marker and go around your frame or but a black mat around it if you aren't happy with the look of the silver and black. I think it looks great and I can see where one begins and the other ends. Ha, loved the yardstick joke! Hugs, Brenda

Great manly card for your boy, Brenda! I love the metallic embossed background with the black and white! Excellent for a motorcycle design. And since you asked: can you pop the panel off and trim it on the sides, so the metallic silver shows all the way around! I think that would be perfick! It's a shame about the yardsticks. You don't know how many times I've wished they were 37". Hugs, Darnell

Fantastic motorcycle image for your son's BD card, Brenda. I love it done in the black and white. That metal embossing compliments it perfectly. xx

A great motorcycle card, Brenda! Love the silver embossing and bike image! I just finished a motorcycle card for my sons’ birthday. I’ll have to post it soon. I go along with Brenda if you think it needs something such as a black mat under the image or maybe just a strip of black on the top and bottom. Good yard stick joke!!
