There's a new challenge over at Seize the Birthday today - as I continue my participation as Surprise Party Guest!
The challenge is always Birthday and there is always a design option - which this week is Fruits.
And here's my card where I used the option of Fruit!
My charcuterie board is loaded with strawberries, cherries and slices of pineapple along with a round of brie and a few crackers.

And, although my sentiment says "the calories don't count on your birthday" - the fruit on the board is all good for you so you can eat it without guilt!
But the birthday cake and ice cream for dessert might be an issue??!!
The board and food items are stamps and dies from Avery Elle, the coaster die is from The Greetery and the sentiment is from a retired set from Papertrey Ink.
So please join in and show us your birthday cards and maybe use the option of Fruits in your design?! You'll find lots of inspiration from the talented Design Team as well as Mr. Linky over at Seize the Birthday!
