I thought for ages and ages what I could make and then the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches made me think of birthday candles. I knew I had some digital images of candles from Lili of the Valley, so all I had to do was print some out. Easypeasy. Right? WRONG!!! Every time I printed them they were too small. I must have printed them maybe 7 or 8 times - each time I'd start colouring and cutting them, only to realize they were still too small, so I'd have to go back and edit the images to make them longer. Of course I turned my laptop and printer off every time in between LOL. I think I spent 8+ hours making this, good job I don't charge by the hour!
Ah well it was good exercise climbing the stairs and it's done now and I do like how it turned out.

Haven't shared a pic of Miss Molly for a while, so here she is on a recent trip up the beautiful Antrim Coast road. She absolutely LOVES the beach, the more smelly seaweed on it the better!

Great card for your sister’s big birthday, Lynne. It was worth all the effort of getting the candles the right size.
