29 & Holding Leap Year Birthday Easel Card

Yesterday, I got a new Bunny (that's what I call a battery using Energizer Bunny as a pun) under my hood (2007 Honda CRV). Former battery was put in Sept 2011 and cost $143 total w/ labor & tax. New battery cost $163 total w/ labor & tax. New battery warranty is for 4 yrs which is typical & seeing as my former lasted just over 4 yrs that is about normal for TX weather heat conditions & such. Also new batteries do not require water to be added and when the chemical runs low which in my case 2 of the compartments of the battery had low fluid it was bound to happen. When I got my 1st car a 1974 Ford Mustang you had to add water to the batteries then.

Made this birthday card with a Leap Year/Frog theme.

Do you see the connection between the sentiment '29 & Holding' and the Leap Year date Feb 29?
