This card design and color scheme definitely says "superhero" to me. A fun card for boys, young men, or heck, even grown men!
Awesome card and great take on the sketch! Hats off to your Hero for serving in our military!
After seeing your card, I'm sure we are going to see lots of foil embossing in the near future and I like how you used the three different sized circles.
I'm so glad you used this sketch - somehow it was off my radar, and I can see how versatile it is now that I've seen your example! Simple but it pops. Thanks for sharing.
A nice patriotic card! Thank you for supporting OWH! radloffjen at cableone dot net

Wowza! What better way to thank a hero than with a super hero Captain America card? Which I'm so going to CASE!! I just downloaded it to my inspiration file. TFS!!
