Another Year Wiser

Howdy folks! I hope you all had a spectacular Easter! We went out to dinner with my husband's family, which was really fun. Today's card is one I made last week for my Dad's birthday. He reminds me very much of a wise owl. I just love this little guy so I thought he'd be perfect....
