Mum’s Card

I made this card yesterday morning for my Mum as it was her birthday & she was 84. I chose the colours because black and yellow are best for those with sight problems & I wanted to try and be bright and cheerful as she is in hospital & not at all well at the moment. My card and all those she received yesterday bought a smile to her face and they are now blue tacked on the wall in front of her so she can see them all.
