I'm a late-comer to the various parties happening in celebration of our sweet, wonderful Sandie's 50th Birthday! One is happening over at Kylie's place
and another over at TIME OUT Challenges, where CAS and purple are on tap.
So, my friend, here I am, with from-the-heart Happy *Belated* Birthday wishes, accompanied by a fairly CAS purple number that I'm hoping will make you smile! You know what else should make you smile: knowing you're still a young'un compared to me *grin*
My card is pretty much a literal translation of the sketch for the STAMPlorations May 2016 Sketch and Theme Challenges:
