Sentimental Sundays #27 - You're How Old?

Are you ready for challenge #27 at Sentimental Sundays? This week's challenge is an easy one, "Birthdays".





I made this card for my brother in-law's birthday. I have had this Huffy Fish image for ages and couldn't resist the opportunity to use. He is older than me by only a few years, but younger is younger. Right? What else could this fish be thinking?

I hope you will join us this week at Sentimenal Sundays for our "Birthday" challenge.

Thank you for looking!

That fish is so ugly, that he is cute. What a great card to tease someone about their age. You are sure to get some chuckles with this one.
