Seize the Birthday - Black & White

It's time for another Seize the Birthday Challenge.  Seize the Birthday is always "Anything Goes", but this time we have a topping of Black & White.  If you are not into black and white, you can skip the topping. It is always an option.

Here's my card



I really love the crisp, clean look of a black and white card.  I need to make them more often.  I used a set from Gina K. Designs called Poster Board Sentiments and white embossed the flag and focal image.  The background was created with a Cuttlebug embossing folder called Happy Birthday.  I added a trio of black enamel dots.

Please visit the Seize the Birthday blog to see the beautiful cards the rest of the team have created for this challenge.  I hope you will come and play along.
