65

front



back



My husband will be 65 in a couple of weeks time, many years ago I bought him a cherished number plate for a birthday and decided to make his card reflect his age in the same style as a number plate, he has a great sense of humor so I hope he will appreciate it.

Nativity


The challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown this week is photo inspiration with the colour pink included, a colour I do not associate with Christmas and which I do not often use. My card only has a little pink in the border so I hope that is enough.
