I love scraps - making use of those that would had been thrown away. The blue bar is actually the negative of birds on a wire chipboard by Dusty Attic - already used the lower half and stamped it red. The upper portion I stamped blue - and just right for the challenge.
Nico is a friend I met on the internet and his birthday was 10 October - but he did not mind celebrating it with me two days earlier. We had a buffer dinner at Saisaki restaurant - an opportunity for the Japanese Geisha stamp I got from Ria.
I did this early morning so I just chose two ribbons for the upper left hand corner.
