The birthday card I made is showcasing the soon to be retired "in-colors" from 2010-2012.  The colors retiring are:  Peach Parfait, Poppy Parade, Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride, and Concord Crush.  Before stamping the 'Happy Birthday' sentiment, I colored each word with a different retiring in-color marker.   The retiring punch used was the "Doily Triple Layer" punch.  In the center of each doily is the matching retiring in-color glimmer brad.  The final retiring products used on this card are the satin Old Olive ribbon that is tucked behind the sentiment, and the stamp set entitled, "Happiest Birthday Wishes".

      Hi Kim....what a cute way to show the colors! I better get on the ball to use some of these products before they are completely retired!
