This is my very first card as a High Hopes Diva! I have been planning this card for months since two of my workmates remembered a card they had both once received in the 80's or 90's. I have never seen it but the concept was great! It was a normal newsagency card that had pictures and sung the words to Happy Birthday in animals. I would have loved to see it! Instead, I decided to start collecting the stamps I would need for such a card.... and finally, here it is!*Update* Here is the link to the card from 1975... it great!! They have also made a newer version in 2002 - check it out! Thanks heaps Aunt Mis for sending the link!
I am so happy with my card but I want to know what YOU think?! I need more comments around here... I know there are people floating around.... I might just need to offer some blog candy to make you speak up. Leave a comment... come ooooon... I dare you! LOL

I know exactly the card you are talking about, infact I think I may have even bought it!!
I received this card as well years ago, and I always think about it whenever I hear it's somebody's birthday 'hippo birdie 2 ewe.' I have a weird sense of humor! Your card are beautiful and should be in stores.
