Rupert Birthday Card - AAA Colourful - Colourboard #8, Lunar New Year October 2024 Challenge, Seize the Birthday Challenge #293 - Dots

Hello,

Please say Hello to Rupert, the Dragon, who is sharing birthday wishes today. He came about as a result of the AAA Colourful: Colourboard #8 which, the more I looked at it, reminded me of flames.  Flames, in turn,  reminded me of dragons so...there he is, complete with a gift and couple of balloons to mark the occasion.



Given he's a dragon, I'm also sharing him at the Lunar New Year October 2024 Challenge. This is a first time play in this challenge; fingers crossed he's a fit.


I've included some 'decorative' dots on the card and, if you squint, you'll also notice that Rupert's grey layer is covered in itsy-bitsy dots. Since dots are the topping at Seize the Birthday Challenge #293 - Dots, he's headed there, too. 


NOTE: Thrilled to receive "Birthday Honours" at Seize the Birthday! 

Thank you to the designers at all three challenges for your inspiration and the opportunity to play.

Thank you for dropping by!

Oh, he's superb, Carol! The white background (along with those pops of lime) shows him off so well. Squinty itsy-bitsy dots duly noted ;) and thanks for playing along with my challenge at STB 🥳
