This image for the Scrapper's Delights July progressive challenge came at exactly the right time. A friend of mine was telling me that during her growing up years, birthday parties for each of the kids (there were 9 of them!) just weren't in the plan but the birthday child was allowed to choose what the family would have for dinner on the night of his/her birthday. Pizza was an incredible treat and not regularly on the family menu due to the cost. She loved pizza and that was her annual request for several years in a row.
When she went away for college, she practically lived on pizza. It was still expensive on a student's budget but since she was one of the few students who lived in a house instead of the dorms, she would offer to host parties as long as her friends brought the pizza. Genius!
In light of that story, this is her birthday card. And, yes, I'm ordering a pizza for her. :-D
Note: This is the first time I've colored black hair which was good enough that I was willing to share the result. It's a long learning process and I'm getting there slowly. I know it can stand improvement but give me credit for even using the image instead of just trashing it and starting over on the coloring.
