I may have to copy your use of the antique car on a b'day card for my brother. He restores old cars so it would be perfect. I also like your use of a roadmap as a background for the car on your second card. Nice work!

I really like the 1900 Cars Stamp Set that you used on your cards. My dad loved old cars & worked for General Motors when he was alive. It would have been perfect for him. I particularly like your use of the map in the background of your second card.

Great cards Judy! The nice muted colors give them such a classic feel to them. Nice layouts too. Love the "string" accent on the second card. Very nice cards.
