CARDS FOR 'BIG' MALE BIRTHDAYS

I am always stumped when it comes to making cards for men.

In the next few weeks, I have a 50th and 70th party to go to, and have therefore come up with these, which I hope both recipients will like.

I've seen the idea in shops, and thought that I would have a go at making some.

The card is designed in Publisher and the birthday cakes in the corner are from clip art. The information that makes the card are facts that have been taken from Wikipedia from 1939 and 1959. I really liked making these and have found the facts fascinating, since I wasn't around until 1972!
