Enjoy the "SWEET" life of retirement

My boss and I were invited to a retirement party for a sweet lady, who was our contact for a particular client for the 22 years I've worked there (I work at a law firm). I volunteered to make a retirement card for her. I was going to put a clock on the front and use the sentiment, "Time to Relax," but I just happened to see a card magazine that had strawberries on the card on the front, and I think it said something about "the sweet life." That inspired me to make this card with this sentiment.

The card is 5 1/4" x 5 1/4." The yellow scalloped square is a DCWV card front. I used Pink Paislee papers (which I love) for the different layers. The scalloped circle was cut at 4 1/2" (I think) using the Mini Monograms Cricut cartridge (never use the font, but I love this cartridge for this scalloped circle and the scalloped square as well). The strawberry was cut using the Celebrate With Flourishes Cricut Lite cartridge at 3". I added cinnamon Stickles to the chocolate coating on the strawberry. I used an EK Success border punch, some satin ribbon, and a Recollections mini rose. The sentiment on the front was punched with a McGill punch. The gems were in my stash. As shown in the title to this post, the inside says, "the 'SWEET' life of retirement. It is well deserved."

Hope you like it! Thanks in advance for your comments.
