Hello, For an upcoming male birthday, I was inspired by some cards  I saw on Pinterest. I began with a white  7 x 5in. card. I added a Black mat and an Orange mat. I embossed a Circles design, using an embossing folder. Using the colours, Purple, Green and Orange, I twice die cut letters for the word Happy. I adhered each letter to another the same, to give more dimension,. I stamped the birthday greeting from somewhere in my stash. Finally I added Green and Orange enamel dots. Happy crafting.
