Surprise, Roj!


I made a card for Roger's 40th birthday with a grim reaper. Not really that original, but it's a great graphic. Used it once before on a birthday card, in fact.


But I got a great shot of the scoring process, what keeps the back of the card from cracking when it's folded.


Anyway, the whole idea was a surprise party planned by his sister. But she was worried he'd sniff it out because, she says, he can read her mind.


She hadn't realized it was the second day of Bike MS that she'd picked. But the whole plan came together to tell him it was a Bike MS after-party for the Dread Pirates team.


Then Day Two of Bike MS got canceled for weather, so then Julie's worst fear was he'd just go home.


The dude never saw it coming. His parents were in masks (it was a costume party), and when he recognized some friends he chalked it up to a coincidence that they were at the same park.
