Fireworks are a great idea for a birthday (especially 4th of July is one of my 3 holiday kids)! I love the way you did the mountains against the night sky. It shows off the fireworks perfectly.

Brent, I love the 4th of July vibe from this card! The fireworks in the sky are so joyous. I know the fork is a stream, but it still makes me think of the Robert Frost poem about a road not taken--one of my favorites. Love this card!
