If patience is a virtue, I will surely be nominating dear, sweet, witty Susan for sainthood. Her b-day was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in February. I don't know why, but I had the hardest time with her card. It wasn't a lack of ideas but in actually creating the card - I believe this is attempt #3! But finally, here we have it. I had all kinds of plans for this card - another few layers, another pattern paper, more embellies, ribbon, etc. But in the end, the card demanded simplicity (first it asked nicely, but I wasn't listening - LOL!). And as it turns out, it ended up coordinating fairly well with the wrapping paper and ribbon on the accompanying gifts. (What do I know? I just make the cards. I'm not necessarily in charge...) At any rate, I hope the card conveys my wishes for Susan: a year full of happy days and time to stop and smell the flowers.
TFL,

Such a pretty bella card! I am always late with my cards too! Pretty funny, considering how many I make!!!
This is so very pretty! I love the bright colors, and the Bella with the big Happy Birthday flower. I'd say you nailed this one, my friend, and she will LOVE it! Beautiful job!!
Beautifully done - she is gonna LOVE it!
So pretty and bright - very cheerful!
Definitely a card worth waiting for. It just screams happy! I love it :)
Your card is beautiful Catherine! Your friend will love her Bella card. I think simple is beautiful. . .sometimes the image and dp speaks for themselves and a card don't always need all the bells and whistles to make it pretty. I love the colors that you used and your lovely coloring. When it comes to giving cards, it's better late than never!!
Hope you have a great day!

I love this card and the colors you used. Many times simplicity is the best thing.
This is BEAUTIFUL! I love the colors, and the patterned paper is fantastic!
{hanging my head in shame} I'm finally here to give Catherine some much-deserved props on this card! I LOVE IT! And I'm glad you didn't change a thing! The DP is so yummy and your coloring is wonderful! LOVE the flower & button center. I'm all about Flower Power! Thanks so much for thinking of me, sending the fab goodies, and creating this groovy card for me. Luv ya sistah!!
{hugs} Susan :-)
