Birthday Wishes Using Scraps

If you are a card-maker or scrap booker you probably have a ton of scraps.  I had just that, a ton of scraps, so I went about trying to reduce that amount of scraps by making this card.

I first cut all the scraps to 3/4 of an inch.  For the next step I had to figure out how I wanted the scraps to look on the front of the card. I chose four different patterned pieces and started to arrange them like a pinwheel trying to keep the colors in a cohesive pattern.  I then stamped the birthday sentiment on a large circle to be the focal point of the card and die cut a circle frame around the sentiment.  For the inside I used another sentiment and added some leftover scraps at the bottom.
