I got rejected too :) - "Happy Birthday" card

Hello my friends!! Hope you are having a good Monday. My day is good so far. Well, last Friday I got some happy e-mail from Paper Craft Magazine, they accepted 1 of the cards I submitted for the next Go To Sketches issue, I got happy, but also I realized the 10 others I submitted got a NO-NO. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect, after reading that they were more than 2750 cards for only 288 spots! now I can say I am happy you are going to see at least 1 of my cards there.
Said this, I have 10 extra cards to post on my blog :), this is one of them (sketch #7)and also fits few challenges:

Also, Dawn is showcasing the rejected cards on this fabulous post, check it out HERE
