Welcome to another great challenge here at Seize the Birthday!
Our "Toppings" option this time is...
"Confetti"
Just remember to keep it a Birthday Theme!
If you're not a toppings kinda person, well.....you can just
stick with our usual "Anything Goes"Birthday!

The choice is yours!
When I saw this theme, I knew that I was going to do. You see, I need a special birthday card for our oldest daughter, who will be 50 this year. Confetti just seemed to be what would make a great special card.
I knew that I needed to be a shaker card too. For the confetti look on the background, I used a pencil eraser and many bright inks. A gold Happy Birthday and some gold leaves under the number 50 finished it out.
We have a Surprise Party Guest and her name is Julie Beech!
