"Framed With Circles" challenge at CIE

The new challenge at Cards In Envy is "Framed With Circles"! Use one or more circle frames on your card and keep your card nice and flat for mailing in a standard envelope.

I started playing with punches and patterned paper and this is the design I came up with for a masculine birthday card. I continued the circle theme with the background embossing folder.
