Birthday card

When you live with a collage artist, you know you should expect a collaged birthday card. Today is my wife's birthday! Her name is Mary Carol, and she goes by "MC". Front of the card, and inner panel...


 
The front is an "M" element that I came across which included a number of designs and "M"s (I had initially contemplated using more than one. But the one I chose seemed to integrate well on the underlying Pollack drip painting (which I had initially thought I would completely cover. I painted the "C" on it myself to further "integrate" the image. The inside panel started with my use of the very 3-D looking present in the lower left-hand corner. The rest was added as after-thought. I think it looks like a theater card or an invitation. I'm pleased with how it all came together...as was Mary Carol!
