Happy Birthday stepper card

hello friends
well where has the weeks gone to now? Its August and already its flying past quicker than you can say it will soon be Christmas!! Lol - someone actually told me the other day they had already started their Christmas shopping!! Gulp!! I couldn't believe it - I'm normally the manic shopper running around on Christmas Eve getting things from petrol stations and corner shops!! LOL - Only kidding - I'm not that bad but I do leave it till the week before Christmas.

Anyway enough of Christmas!! (and it isn't even here yet thank God!!) - here's to the card. This is a first for me so please be kind!! I created a stepper card for my brother to give to his daughter Suranne -  she is mad on horses and I found this image and although its a print out I did change some of it slightly in photoshop.
I matted into onto black cardstock - I did the wording on the PC too using a combination of Baskerville Old Face and ForgetMeKnot fonts.

This is the card from the front view.   I made the rosette myself from black cardstock. I cut the circle with my cuttlebug after printing out the wording from the PC.

 Here is a close up of the rosette and the image of the horse.

thanks for dropping by and I would appreciate any comments good or bad.
hugs until next time
