Lior and Yishai

Lior is crazy about driving simulator games, his mum told me. He is also interested in the stars and planets and the family planned to go camping around his birthday to watch the annual Perseids meteor shower. Mum also requested a 20 on the card to mark Lior's age. There was plenty to work with.

I have shown bespectacled Lior with the controls of his driving simulator in his hands. The computer screen projecting his virtual driving skills is just visible in the corner of the card. Behind him is a little tent, surrounded by some planets and stars. I hope he saw some of those planets when the family went camping. The Hebrew greeting on the card says "Happy birthday to our Lior".

Yishai turned 12 in September. His mum told me that he is into dinosaurs and that a card on that theme would make him very happy!

I have shown Yishai on the front of his birthday card. Behind him is a blue Tyrannosaurus rex and child. I decided to be creative with their colours. Blues and reds were more fun to work with than the more usual T-Rex shades of brown! A Pterodactyl, the winged reptile, is flying by, while a rather cute looking Stegosaurus has wandered past Yishai. I added some jungle-like leaves and a big red number 12 to mark Yishai's age.
