Belated Birthday Card

Greetings! It's Tuesday, my day to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. I don't know if it's my age or my absentmindedness, but I never seem to get birthday cards mailed on time. Since Easter just passed and there are lots of rabbits in my backyard, I decided to use this shocked/worried looking rabbit from Katzelkraft's All Mad Here Unmounted Red Rubber Stamp Set with the Background Clocks Solo Unmounted Red Rubber Stamp to create a belated birthday card.

Here's my card!
