Watercoloured Happiest of Birthdays with Scalloped Contour Dies

 Hello and thanks for visiting!

Today's project was inspired by two design team challenges.  The colour choice came from The Spot Challenge #161 - Color Challenge and the theme choice from Global Design Project Challenge #291 - Theme Birthday.  Please click on The Spot's image to visit their blog post, and click on the GDP image to visit their blog post.   The popsicle, as we call it here in Canada :) came from the April Paper Pumpkin Kit, and I knew when I saw the melting, drippy look of the popsicle paper in the kit, I had to try to re-create it with watercolouring.
