A homemade birthday e-card for Tina

Tomorrow is a good friend's birthday and I'm sending her this e-card.

I thought of sending her the usual birthday e-card from the Hallmark website. But then I thought I'd make my own when I realized that my photo of the March ceramic angel would make a good graphic for a birthday card--at least for someone born in the month of March. After all, my mother gave the angel to me as a birthday gift some twenty years ago.

Anyway, I adapted some happy birthday verses I found on the Internet and also had fun experimenting with Adobe Photoshop to blend layers and apply some lighting effects. By the way, I found the rich damask background at the Inspiration Gallery.

I hope Tina likes it. :)
