Happy Birthday Alejandro!

Hi everyone.  My son-in-law, Alejandro is having a birthday in a couple of days.  I wanted to make a card that reminded him of home in Mexico ... and his love of food. :)

I saw this adorable "Build-a-Taco" die from Simon Says Stamp and had to have it.  I'm so happy how it turned out. :)

Sending this card to NBUS Challenge #65 - first time using this die.

Thanks for stopping by!
