I'm excited to be posting my Seize the Birthday card today as the Surprise Party Guest, having been one of the winners with my card for the Fancy Fold #307 challenge!

I opted for the food option on my card - using the Happy Seagull Die set from Waffle Flower.
If you live near or vacation at the ocean you know how adept seagulls are at sweeping down and stealing food from unwary beach goers! We live 3 miles from the ocean and most of our mall parking lots that have food stores in them have seagulls sitting on the tall parking lot lights waiting for someone to drop some food!
This guy (or gal!?) is walking off with a whole beach bucket full of fries at the beach!
I embossed the background with Wave Pierced A2 cover plate from Honey Bee and then rubbed ink pads over the sand and sea/sky areas with Ranger Distress Scattered Straw and Speckled Egg. All the die cuts and sentiment are up on foam dots.
So please join us at Seize the Birthday making it just a birthday card - or using the optional Food &/or Drink! You'll find the challenge here.
And thank you to Nancy at Seize the Birthday for inviting me to be a surprise party guest!
