Dexter's Birthday

Tomorrow is a special day in our house - it's Dexter's 2nd birthday.  Dexter is our Bichon Frise and we love him to bits!  And in completely pathetic fashion, I made Dexter a birthday card.  I really wanted to put a row of doggy chocolates instead of the ribbon, but wasn't sure how to stick them down safely.

I wanted the images in the squares to be off-center and quirky but looking at the photo, they offend my desire for symmetry, so maybe I'll call that an experiment not to be repeated.  The designer paper is from the long-retired but still plentiful (in my craft room) Sweet Slumber Specialty DSP.

I'm entering this card into three challenges:  the sketch challenge at Fab Friday; the tic-tac-toe challenge at Paper Players (birthday; designer paper; ribbon) and the color challenge part of Friday Mashup.

And if you're interested, here is a picture of Dexter.

This is a quick post tonight, because I've just discovered the TV show Breaking Bad and am working my way through the seasons on DVD.  About to commence Season 2 and keen to start watching LOL.

Thanks for looking.
