The Paper Shelter Challenge #580 Anything But a Square

I'm joining the current challenge at The Paper Shelter with a quick birthday card.  My "no Square" design features Paper Shelter's pre-colored Aviator digital set. The  pre-colored image was printed onto textured card stock and die cut with Spellbinder circle dies.  A few enamel dots and birthday sentiment from Sweet 'n Sassy finish the card. Let me know if the comments if you use pre-colored digital images.  It's such a quick way to make a card and allows me to take more time without coloring.  Of course, this set also includes a black and white lined image for your coloring pleasure!
