My girlfriend's mom turned 90 and although she comes to our church whenever she is in town, I didn't know her very well, so I asked my friend what does she like, does she have a favorite color? She said she likes music and dancing and favorite color is Black. I was a bit surprised and then thought what I am I going to do with that information. I went searching through my things and I found some paper that I have had for over 10 years I thought just might work :)
I managed to cut the paper so that the let's dance and the couple along with the piano keys were all on the top, added more music paper to the bottom. Under the Number tag was something I wanted to cover up so that was the perfect place to put the numbers. The faux stamp of the lady dancer was in the paper pack too so I fussy cut that out. Then finished it off with the sentiment die cut that I cut twice and layered and some trim and pearls to break up the top and bottom pieces.

Connie, this card is absolutely fabulous — you turned “favorite color: black” and “loves music and dancing” into something so elegant and full of personality. The way you arranged the Curtain Call paper to capture the dancers, piano keys, and that wonderful vintage vibe is just perfect. The layered sentiment, pearls, and that fussy‑cut dancer pull everything together beautifully. What a special, thoughtful card for such an amazing milestone birthday.
What a beautiful card for a milestone birthday.
What a stylish card and the recipient of the card will surely be delighted when there are colors and patterns she likes.
You did a great job pulling things together to make this card for a special birthday. I have no doubt she'll be tickled with it.
What a fun card and that you were able to cover the main loves of the 90 year old, music, dancing and black. Great job pulling it all in together. I'm sure she's going to love it!

I love your design, those images are really beautiful . x
Such a clever and thoughtful way to build a milestone card around “favorite color: black” and a love of music and dancing. The way you arranged the Curtain Call paper to capture the dancers, piano keys, and that vintage stage feel gives the whole design a lively elegance, and the layered sentiment, pearls, and fussy‑cut dancer add wonderful finishing touches that make the card feel celebratory and personal for a 90th birthday.
Fun, fun card! What an unusual favorite color, but at 90 she can love whatever she wants to lol What a milestone and a pretty creation to celebrate it with!
