Her New Kids!

A customer recently asked me to create a special card for her dear friend's 60th birthday. She sent me several photos of her friend, along with an adorable picture of her new dachshunds, Coco and Lulu.
"These are her new kids!" she told me.
She also asked me to include small Australian, Canadian, and Israeli flags on the card, as well as a prominent number 60 to mark this very special milestone birthday.
I carefully created a paper likeness of her friend, with the two long haired dachshunds in her arms. I added the Australian, Canadian, and Israeli flags as requested, along with a big number 60. To complete the design, I added a small red heart.
My customer was thrilled with the card. "Lisa, the card is perfect. Thank you so, so much. I love the way you have captured the dachshunds in Nicki's arms. They are like her 4th and 5th babies!"
She even sent me the wonderful video I have shared near the top of this post, showing her friend's reaction. "Nicki was so overcome she couldn't talk - only cry. She absolutely loved the card. Thank you so much."
Not long afterwards, the card was beautifully framed, and Nicki announced that it would soon have pride of place on her wall.
