Hello Kitty Happy Birthday Card

Bought Hello Kitty cartridge last yr, 2010, at a Michaels sale for $9.99 and this is my first creation using it.

Some may know & others may not but I am a pilot of single-engine planes. Back in the 1970s, not sure if they still do this, but when a guy completed solo flight & would be getting his pilot license the back of the shirt you were wearing was ripped & hung up for display and if women wanted to participate in this also they could so yes I did so also. I even did a super duper cross country flight with anotehr person flying a single-engine plane, a Grumman American, from Melbourne, FL to San Louis Obispo CA. I channeled my love of piloting into this creation. Even gave Hello Kitty a silk pilot scarf.
