HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Good morning, crafty friends from far and wide and welcome to my blog.  Today I'm posting a card for Mother's Day on 10th May in the USA, Australia and  New Zealand.  I know Mother's Day has already been in England.  Why on earth couldn't they have been the same day worldwide? Or it could be a Happy Birthday card.  This is the first Fan Fold card I've made.  I feel that if I made this again, it would be a little different.

Today, this card is for Polkadoodles.  Can't you see this beautiful image and design papers?
