First of April Fun

This is my newest edition to the fun of April Fools day. Man I love this day. If you were among the lucky few to have gotten one of these cards that I worked on at 12:30 AM look at yours now but for those of you who didn't. Here it is. But the best part is that just along the bottom it's glued shut. the sides are not to give the look of an open-able card. I laughed and laughed at this idea for weeks. And yes I start planning April fools jokes months and even days after for the next year. You should see my file on the comp. Some jokes I have to wait for Brenner to get older so he can handle them.
