That's what a birthday is all about, right?

I love the design too, the stencilled circles in the background with the foliage stamp.

So elegant!

This is a fun fold card with an interesting folding technique and also a perfect masculine birthday card!

Just hop on Mary's blog if you want to see the tutorial of this folding.
