First, I was motivated to bring out some retired autumn paper. I kept to the layout pretty much. I did change the ovals to squares, used fewer layers, lowered the sentiment, and used gems instead of an acorn since it is for a birthday.
I made this one for an elderly friend who is a having a birthday this week. She likes cutesy cards and loves animals. I think this squirrel is adorable. She also likes funny cards, so now I need to come up with a funny sentiment for the inside.
Thank you Jessica for sharing your beautiful cards with us and for inspiring my much-needed card today!

I think that squirrel is adorable too and he definitely adds a fun flair to this beautiful card. I LOVE your old dp and so glad you had some left just for this occasion. Wish I had a clever saying for you to add inside -- maybe something about "nuts" -- where's Anne when you need her. LOL. Your friend will absolutely adore this. Fabulous card, Diane.
