Counting the Years

As my birthday is coming up and will be a few years off from forty, I have to remind myself of this sentiment: "Life is not a matter of counting years, it's a matter of making years count."

On both cards I used the same sentiment and layout. Just different colours, which give them completely different looks: one is bold and bright and the other is more shabby chic.
