Babies are all our dreams rolled into one

Evening all

Hope you're all well.

My sister's boyfriend's aunt that he's very close to just had a little baby girl, and he asked me ages ago if I'd make him a card to give her when the child was born, but they didn't know the gender so I waited til she'd popped before creating. So this is what I made. They haven't chosen a name for the little mite just yet so I haven't done anything inside the card yet so I can put all the necessary details in there :)
