You Can Run...But You Can't Hide!! Funny Card!

Hi everyone!  Funny card challenges abound at the moment because of April Fool's Day, so I jumped in with a birthday card I made for my brother-in-law.  He finds it amusing to tease my kids (in a nice way!) and they think he's a really funny guy.  He wins extra uncle points for bringing yummy fruit salads to all of our family events...what a guy!

This bird in disguise is from the 3 Birds on Parade cartridge.  I thought the sentiment, "You can run ... but you can't hide!" was fitting, don't you?  The inside of the card reads, "It's Your Birthday!"  The bird is hanging on an Action Wobble...I think he'll make my brother-in-law smile!  hee hee hee

Recipe
Bird in disguise from Cricut 3 Birds on Parade; cut all layers
Blurb and shadow from Cricut George & Basic Shapes
Striped paper from DCWV Stack 6
Olive textured cardstock from Bazzill
All other cardstock from Recollections
Cuttlebug Swiss Dots and Herringbone embossing folders
EK Success Scallop Diamond border punch
White Gelly Roll pen
Black Creative Memories marker
Chestnut roan Cat's Eye chalk ink
Action Wobble
Sentiment printed on my computer

I'm entering this card into four challenges:
