Birthday Wishes

 I print this out and had it ready to play with a while back, just never did anything with it.  I came across it this evening...now it's almost midnight and I'm done with it.  LOL  I used my Cricut to cut out all of the leaves, I used dies to cut the long stitched banners and the stitched circle and the scalloped circle.  I added pearls, gems and two types of twine.  Used some brass butterflies from Stamp'in Up.




There is a lot going on here, but I love how it turned out!


Thanks for looking!
