    When I heard the colors were green, orange & white I first thought I would make a Halloween birthday card (have a friend with b'day on Halloween) or a Thanksgiving birthday card. Had no dog treats in my hand so Teddy went from sit position to laying down.

    The layering of the flower is super - and it looks wonderful against the polka-dot background!
    I love the way Teddy is guarding it as you take a photo!
