A musical happy birthday

I was asked to make a birthday card for a man who is very accomplished at organ and piano playing, so something with music. The background music is a La Blanche stamp. The keyboard notes is ribbon - I bought some of this ribbon four or five years ago and have never used any of it till now - don't know why really. The swirly music circle is from a Kanban kit.

The writing at the bottom has been deliberately obscured as it is a personal message.

This is for:

    Oh this is a great card. Initially I thought the obscured writing was a pattern- it looks very cool.
