Birthday Balloon

I needed a birthday card that was kind of masculine, and I was inspired to have a color palette that I knew well:

So I took a favorite image, and combined it with the color palette to get this:

It's appropriate for the following challenges:
Lilypad Inspirational Challenge 3
Make it Monday 43 
The Poodles Parlour Come Fly with Me
Tuesday Throwdown #54 - Masculine Card
Card Cupids - Cards for Boys
Freshly Brewed Challenge #53 - Birthday
