Circular Basketball teenage Birthday card

Hi Crafty Friends,

One of my son's friends is right into basketball this year so I decided to google basketball clipart and found this one. I enlarged it and printed it onto glossy photo paper then die cut it with one of my circle dies. I die cut a larger black circle too to make the card a little larger. I also printed out the sentiment on glossy paper. Quite a simple card but I think it turned out quite well for a teenager.
