Father's Day for My Dad!



My dad was an amateur astronomer.  He actually built his own observatory where he had a really cool telescope with a roof that slid off with a garage door opener!

When I saw this paper from CTMH, I knew I wanted to do something with it for Dad......what better than a Father's Day card?
