Have An A+ Birthday While Dancing to Tutti Fruitt!

Ah...the fourth and very last Splitcoaststampers' Virtual Stamp Night Mini Challenge.  Our hostess wishes to honor Little Richard and his song Tutti Fruitti!  Did you know that tutti fruitti is Italian for "all fruit."  With this in mind, we are to put some fruit on our cards.

I don't usually buy fruit stamps, but I remembered I recently bought the Harvest Hellos Stampin'  Up stamp set from the 2019 Holiday mini catalog, because there is a challenge every now and then that requires the use of fruit and things related to teachers and schools.  An apples fits both, plus this "apple" stamp and punch can also be turned into a pumpkin...that sold me!  I do like apples, schools (after all, I am a retired elementary school office manager), and pumpkins!  I am so thankful I was SOLD!

I don't have any close friends who are teachers...most have all retired, but my sister is a pre-school mentor coach, who also teaches college courses to students looking toward certification as pre-school teachers.  I thought I could use my apple card with a little twist for her upcoming birthday. . .I came up with an A+ birthday card.  See it below!

Here is the little "verse" that I cooked up to place inside with a bit matching rickrack as seen on the front and some apple-colored photo corners!
