Birthday Boy with kite card (Polkadoodles image)

Hi crafty friends,

I love playing around with the digital papers, items and images that come with the Polkadoodles kits. Before printing this I added the sky background, fence, grass and green polkadot paper so the little boy had an outdoor scene behind him. To do this just use the PNG's rather than the JPEG's because PNG's don't have a white background, it is just the item itself.

AllSorts -  Happy Birthday
Brown Sugar - Father's day or masculine
C.R.A.F.T. - father's day/male card
