Very cute card!! I like the ghosts - that cartridge is on it's way to me now. Can't wait to get it. Fun sentiment too. I am sure the recipient will love your card. Thank you for playing along with Birthday Sundaes!
What a very cute card, she will love it! My grams (grandmother) b-day was Oct. 31st. When she was in her 80's dementia had set in and she was so cute on Halloween. She would be so excited when the children came to the door because she thought they were there to celebrate her b-day! This card will be very special to your elderly friend from church! TFS!
