Paint Party Friday - 21st Birthday

I made this card for my daughter L's good friend, a lot of her friends are turning 21 this year.  It's acrylic (4 1/2"h x 5 1/4"w).  I took a photo because some of  the colours seem to show up better than on the scan.

Can you remember your 21st Birthday?  I can,  I'm thinking it must be one of those significant years like turning 30?

Linking to Kristin and Eva's Paint Party Friday.

How sweet! I remember being 21, but tend to focus on 22 more, as that is when I graduated from UH and left Hawaii for a trip around the world.

Hi Christine,
Funny you should ask this question since I do recall the year vividly. Maybe could be something to do with the photo that was taken of me, I like it : )
The card is dreamy and i like how you painted the 21, she will definitely keep this one.

Have a great weekend and thanks for sharing,
Annabelle O,O

Love how you did those numbers on the sticks! I really can't remember my 21st, and now that you mention it, I can't remember my 30th either ....

Even though I'm only 24, my 21st birthday was very forgettable. Didn't do much to recall any good moments.

Wonderful time of life - 21. I was still in college and I have no memory of that milestone. Maybe I didn't even tell anyone, who knows! Your cake painting is fabulous. Thanks for the comments on my watercolor pencil painting.

Very sweet! Love the colors and arrangement -- the 21 has a lot of impact. I can remember my kids 21st birthday's better than mine.

Wonderful card!! I always take photos of my art too...it's easier and shows up better!!

Yes I remember it because even though the legal age in Canada is 19 I like being legal in the states where my parents had a summer place! I got two cakes that year, one was of the cookie monster, the other was a golf green, I got golf clubs that year too!! Wow thanks for the reminder!! I hated turning 30 that was my toughest birthday ever!

I don't really remember my 21st - do remember my 30th as so many changes had taken place in my life. Sweet card - I think a hand painted card is such a lovely gift. HPPF

Okay, now that I think about it, I don't exactly remember what I did on that particular day. Hmmm...I'm thinking it was just another college day!
