Each year, my friend asks me to make a card for her oldest sister - this year it is age 102 - truly a special occasion, and I try to make the card special. I went with a color scheme my friend likes, and I thought this digi from Antique Images was very appropriate. (If you are not familiar with their images, check them out - lots of interesting freebies are available.) I added an embossed bg (birthday and Swiss dots), Vines on the gold layer. The letters and numbers are Olivia - a Cuttlebug set I have had for a long time. Thankfully, she has a short name that fit the banner!
