Hap-bee Birthday

Hello everyone! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend. It's sprinkling off & on here but it's 62 degrees & quite pleasant. The birds & frogs are out singing & croaking so it's a happy day! The card I have to share with you today is for my Aunt's birthday (she promised me she wouldn't peek at my blog until after she received it, lol). She lives in Connecticut so it's going to take a few days for it to make its way across the country. I hope she likes it & I hope y'all do too!.....
