Birthday fun

Just another quick card, this time for a male birthday. I had so much fun creating the male card for our "Old folk" Alphabet challenge lately that I decided to use the same wonderful background paper in another card.
However, I picked a more "respectful" digi this time - it's still bugaboo, but I opted for a classical birthday image to send greetings to my wasn't-meant-to-be father in law. 
For the colouring, I've used coloured pencils that match the background paper. For an extra splash of yellow I used a strip of cardboard that holds the birthday sentiment. 
Looking back, the balloons might be a bit too fun and childish for a grown up gentleman, but I guess that as long as celebrations are being put on hold due to the circumstances of this very strange year, the birthday cards are allowed to be more colourful than usual even for the gown ups, don't they?
