Our code word for Challenge #260 was

Jaydee was our Hostess so it was her job to select the winners.

She chose Arlene as our CAS Perfectionist.

Sunday Stamper

She said "I love how Arlene used DSP for that big bold YOU.  The music running through it adds so much movement to the sentiment and the card.  The simple Happy Birthday works perfectly with it and all that white space makes my CAS loving heart so happy.  The small mat of black helps to frame the sentiment and ties to the black of the DSP so well.  Fabulous CAS card."

Here is the CAS Perfectionist badge to display on your blog.
