PP 62 Challenge - Gently Falling Birthday

Hi Everyone and I hope that you are enjoying your day.  This is my second post for the week...maybe too much time on my hands. lol   I have been busy down in my stamping quarters and now it's time to clean up...procrastinating?   

As I was getting ready to post the card for the challenge, I realized the card used the Gently Falling stamp set and the Spice Cake DSP.  This set has become a favourite because I just love the colours used in the designer papers.  I promise to have a new stamp set for you on my next post.

The challenge for the week from the Paper Players is to create a birthday card to build up your stash.  Who can't use another birthday card.
