Happy Birthday

This was one of my cards we made last week at card class.  I seem to be on a roll with the bright colours at the moment.  I usually reach for monochrome but these colours are just such happy colours.  This is a really quick and easy card to make and came together fast especially as I usually agonise over each card for ages.
