Retired Colors for Retirement Wishes

My father had his last day of work today before retiring. My mum put together a surprise lunch and asked my and my sisters to come. One of his plans include to cycle-yes, on a bicycle!-back to his homeland of Newfoundland. As a gift, I researched tours and routes and other bike info that may be handy. Riley also colored a map of our fine land, adding in details such as a route, hotels and restaurants. While doing the project, he asked if Grandpa would sleep? So funny what children think of. I allowed him to pick out the colors for our card. He went straight to the 'retired' In Colors-pretty fitting, I think! Since my dad is a bird lover I decided to use the Birds and Blooms embosslits. Because SU is so coordinated with their color schemes, it makes it easy to please my son allowing him to pick out the creative colors. The picture below is of Riley-so proud if his route for Grandpa to navigate his trip!
