Mickey Mouse and Elephants

One of my regular customers came back to me once again with a request for birthday cards for her twin boys. The boys were turning 3, mum told me. They are blond and love Mickey Mouse and elephants. They were soon to have their upsherin (a haircutting ceremony held when a Jewish boy turns three years old) but she suggested that the boys could be shown with long hair, as it was before it was cut.
Though the boys have the same favourites, mum asked me to make the cards slightly different. Benjamin likes reds, greens, oranges and yellow. Daniel favours blue. I made sure to create 'Mickey' in two different ways and added two very different elephants.
Balloons and stars added a birthday touch and a big yellow number 3 marks the boys' age.

I wouldn't be surprised if their mom saves your birthday cards, then one day in their adult future they'll find the cards and get teary-eyed, their hearts full of love.

Lovely way to mark their 3rd birthdays. As usual I've learnt something from your cards! #MMBC

That must have been fun (but maybe also harder) to create something for a twin. I like it that the mom wanted to have her twin a memory of how it was before their hair was cut! Wow, you are getting so much experience by the specific requests your customers have! Well done, Friend! Have a lovely week and thank you for sharing it with All Seasons!
