I needed a birthday card for a 10-year old girl who I don't know very well. I wasn't sure whether the card should be girly, or sporty, or what? So I settled on bright balloons. I thought about putting a balloon where the snowflake is on the sketch, but all the other balloons were up high and the lower balloon seemed out of place - like it was already leaking helium! As I was browsing dies for ideas, I came across this big speech bubble die - and I love it!!! Thanks so much to Linda for the inspiration!
