Birthday tag

I needed a birthday tag and decided to use Artistic Stamper blog 's theme of dots and stripes, so that I could use it for their challenge at the same time.
For the stripes I used strips of paper. The dots which are quite hard to see, where stamped with a Waltzing Mouse background stamp, both on the background and the embellishments. The image is one of my DHs relatives, previously used in my vintage scrapbook.

Just got a whole lot of new stamps from a brilliant place called the Stamp Smith. This is the image that I first saw on Docraft and really liked. I asked the friend who has used it in an ATC, where she got it. Well she borrowed it from a friend who got it from ebay as a one off. But.... it had a title. I googled the title, and hey presto found the site. They have great stamps and offer a really friendly fast service. I highly recommend them!
