Citrus-ey Birthday

I needed a quick card for a coworker and thought bright, citrus colors would be welcomed amid our current snow storm.It came out very cheery and I know will bring a smile to my co-worker's face. They work in another office so I tried to keep it simple enough to be a postcard for the 365 Cards Challenge. I'll have to ask the recipient if it arrived without getting mutilated by the post office machines.

Color Inspiration

It was a bit tricky for me to keep this flat enough to mail as a postcard instead of safely tucked in an envelope.  I made sure all my layers were very securely glued down and will hope for the best.
