Make A Card | 60th Birthday Banner

I made this card for one of my coworkers who turned sixty this week.  I’ve worked with him since 2003, so I consider him a friend as well.  I thought I would try to diecut the “60” into the circle while leaving the bottom intact.  It didn’t turn out perfect but it was pretty good.  After I diecut the circle and the 60, I diecut the same numbers from adhesive glitter foam sheets and adhered them.
