Birthday Card

I love working in black and white as you will see from my art blog - I think I should try for more colour in 2007, maybe that will be my NY resolution:-)

Downloading problems?

If you are having problems downloading the card from the link below try this one.
Sorry for any problems not sure how different browsers treat these links, but obviously some cannot cope - My preference is to use Pando let me know if you use Pando and I will send you it to you that way MUCH CLEANER!!!
