H A P P Y Birthday

It's hard be believe it's July already!  The only downside is it's summer and it's been hot.  But on a positive note - each day is a day closer to Autumn!  haha

I was playing around when I made this card after looking at all the scraps I have, and decided I needed to use some.  So everything other than the card base and white layer is scraps.  Maybe I should make a "scraps" card every once in a while and post it?

I used Sweet Blush cardstock for the card base and added a layer of white cardstock.  I stamped "birthday" on the white and ran it through the Cuttlebug with my Swiss dots embossing folder.

I cut the scalloped circles in three colors:  Sweet Blush, Ripe Avocado and Melon Berry, and placed polka dot circles on top.  I die-cut the letters in the same cardstock colors and placed them on the circles.  Three of the circles are on foam tape for dimension.
