Card Patterns Sketch #13

Last week we had 120 entries for Sketch #12 over at Card Patterns. 120!!! It is so much fun to go through all the entries each week, and see all the great takes on the sketch. So much talent, so many different and gorgeous styles.

Now it is time for Sketch #13. I kept my card quite simple. I really like using the October Afternoon Night Life collection for a boy card. I just love the colors of this collection.
