Big - Oh's

    
My oldest son will be 30 this week, and my brother-in-law is turning 50.  This is for them.

I used the sketch from Addicted to Stamps and More blog.  I wasn't sure if I wanted the numbers to be inside the box, or pop out of the box.  So I made one of each. What do you think?

Product information:
Papers - black and white: Stampin Up; color: Heidi Grace
Number dies: Paper Trey Ink
I inked the edges of the numbers with a bit of red ink.  You can't really tell from the pix, but the numbers have a bit of glitter on them.

This was very fast and easy to do - which I love right now.  I am also submitting this t0 52 card pick up at the Old Back Porch

Hope you are enjoying a great fall weekend.
Thanks for looking.
