Birthday Doggie: Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge

I'm having so much fun pulling out my existing stamp sets and figuring how to use them in new or different way.  :)

I needed a card for this weekend- my son was invited to a birthday party for one of his fellow classmates who is turning 4 so here's what I came up with.

For this card, the doggie (eek- so cute!) and gift came from Paper Smooches Santa Paws and the sentiment is from Party Posse.  I'm really trying hard to no longer hoard my 6x6 pads of patterned paper, so I pulled a few sheets out from Echo Park's A Boy's Life.  
Oh, but the doggie is actually stamped using Papertrey Ink's BB Gingham, stamped off once to make it the perfect shade.  

I realized about halfway through making this card that it works perfectly for the current Paper Smooches Sparks challenge, see here.

I know the yellow is a little off from the orange but I've always been a bit of a rule breaker...  

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
