Tiger Eyes Happy Birthday Card - MFP Simple Salutations Ch#17 Cat Wild or Domestic

I created this Clean & Simple CAS style Birthday card for Mark's Finest Papers Challenge#17 Cat - Wild or Domestic. I'm not fond of domestic cats but really like wild cats.

Have a quote that I do not know who it is by to go with this:
"Beautiful People do not wear Beautiful Furs, only Beautiful Animals wear Beautiful Furs." 

Photographed at Dallas Zoo 10/16/12. Have enjoyed being members of the Dallas Zoo for 20+ yrs. Enjoyed a wonderful morning at the Dallas Zoo when hubby took a couple days off from work last wk. When we first went to the Tiger area one Tiger was laying down & we did not see the second Tiger. We came back before leaving and I got some wonderful photos of one of the Tigers walking around their natural habitat area.
