Happy Retirement

Dad's cousin emailed me the other day.  I hadn't heard from him for ages, but then that was partly my fault as well. Anyway he has decided to retire- a bit of a quick decision but they offered him a very good package and he would retire in a years time anyway.  So I needed to make a card.  Hope he isn't offended by the image.  I'm sure he won't spend all his time watching TV now, but he can if he wants to- the beauty of retirement being that you can do what you want when you want!
I will enter the card into this weeks Sweet Sketch Wednesday (sketch) and I love Promarkers (circles) challenges.
