Red, White & Black

I love the way this color combination works together.  I made this card following a challenge sketch, and I did not realize till I started making it how challenging is was to put those circles together correctly. 

The card is kind of an odd size as I had to cut it to make the circles line up the way I wanted them.  It ended up as 5 1/2 by 4 3/4, guess I will have to make an envelope.  The "happy birthday" is computer generated that I printed in a circle using Word, this I think was part of the lining up challenge.  My circles had to match the angle of the printed sentiment.

All and all I think it worked out well.  I Cuttlebugged the background with a checked folder.  When I assembled the card I first glued all the circle together how I wanted them, then I placed them on the corner of the card with the extra hanging over the edge.    I then flipped over the card and cut off the extra.
I had those extra pieces so here is what I did with them.....................

I didn't want to just throw them out so I stuck them inside :).  Later I will stamp a sentiment inside.
