Happy Retirement

Got a custom order request to make a Happy Retirement card and then struggled a bit with it. I don't make too many of them, so I had to figure out the theme before quickly realizing that retirement cards seem to always be synonymous with the beach and relaxing... so I chose both. The paper I've had in my stash for years - I think it was a travel pack, and then image was a stamp from Rubbernecker. The sentiment was PC-generated.

Thanks for stopping by!
