House Mouse Birthday in Red White & Blue


Yowza, I’m actually playing in the current House Mouse and Friends Challenge instead of playing catch up. The theme this fortnight was Birthdays. I didn’t start out with the intention of making it a patriotic birthday card, but it fits even better as the challenge was also the DT’s way of saying Happy Birthday to member America (who’s birthday happens to be July 4th).

Image Detail
I added Diamond Glaze to the bows for some dimension and to try to break up the red a bit.
