A Happy (Birthday) Boy

This is the card I made for my grandson.  It reminds me of him - he has such skinny arms and legs!  It is hard for me to get skin colors (any skin colors) to look natural when I color them with pencils so paper piecing is a good choice.  And yes, there are many skin colors in our family!   Besides I love to paper piece.
 
And here is the happy boy on his birthday yesterday:

    Fabulous card! And I'm sure you struck a chord with many of us - skin tones are the hardest!

    Thanks for joining the 'For the Boys' challenge at Crafty Cardmakers.
