Fast Card

The 4th of July picnic at my son's tomorrow is going to be huge.  Not only do they have a beautiful pool, but also an excellent vantage point for seeing the local fireworks display.  It is so much fun watching all the kids growing up.  Last year was the first that there were no little ones in diapers.  With 4-5 dozen kids between 3 and 11 running around, it gets to be pretty wild and crazy.  My mission today is to make a HUGE bowl of potato salad for the adults and tomorrow I will be making an equally HUGE bowl of mac & cheese for the kids. And Matthew has requested M&M cookies, if I have time.
With that in mind...
This is one of the fastest cards I ever made, primarily because I just picked up odds and ends on the table and glued them together.  As my friend, Gail, would say, "Suits me just fine!"
I'll be adding this card to the submissions at these challenges:
Seize the Birthday Challenge - Birthday + Red, White and Blue Topping 

Fast card, fast post.  
I wonder how many pounds of potatoes I need to buy?
