I think an "oops I forgot your birthday" card is always a good one to have floating around. This one went a little dot happy, so I added a layer of vellum to tone it down a notch. I've used this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch and ColourQ colors. And since I've just done a math lesson with my son I can tell you that I know the sketch has 12 round circles and my card only has 9, but who's counting?
And since the above card uses the ColourQ colors I thought I'd share the card that wasn't selected for the recent Paper Crafts 365 cards, but uses the other week's ColourQ colors. Amber is hosting another Reject Blog Hop and I couldn't help join in the fun.

Glad you are submitting! Like Lynn said, try CARDS magazine, too. I'm happy you get to show us this beautiful 'reject'. ;)
The vellum works so well with your dotty card! I don't think the sketches are meant to be taken literally. LOL
