This was a quick stitch for my employer's birthday. My boss appeared reluctant to say much about her birthday, so I didn't want to overdo a gift. Her family room is decorated in a fish theme, so I decided to stitch a quick little fish and turn it into a birthday card.

Inside the card says, "Hoping you have a Swimmingly Good Birthday!"
