Birthday celebration

While Independence Day is approaching, many challenges ask us to use red, blue and white.  I rarely send out July 4 cards because it is a day that we gather for barbeque and I'd much rather use these colors for decoration.

On the other hand, these colors often remind me of the retired paper pack Fanfare.  Its summer colors and patterns are very fun.  So I thought, however making a masculine birthday card with Fanfare?  I based on my card on the sketch from Seize the Birthday:

And my Fanfare birthday card looks like this:

My card is also entering the following challenges:

Color My Heart - Pacifica, Cranberry and White Daisy;
Gingerloft Challenge - Red, White and Blue;
Shopping our Stash - Red, white, Blue

Thanks for stopping by!
