Don't really know him at all, but with my sense of humor I guess I'll go with Card I. :D Love that textured paint...worked out well to show she'd painted on the textured wall. :)

I like the ID you have on the belt of your jeans but I'm betting that Shardz would prefer that you weren't wearing the shirt or jeans for a present. Nice sign but does he really read the advertising of that particular fact? (I shouldn't talk since I'll be the Big 50 pretty soon) Still it's the thought that counts and the effort you go to right? Stupendous job!

I liked card (A) best but I'm not a blond kitten. So I'll have to go with something original. I was going to go with something like a David roast.. IE: We were having a Shardz look-a-like contest for your birthday but the police broke it up.. the crowd was getting ugly! But I decided on just stating the facts and nothing but the facts: David is one of the kindest and nicest artists on this, or any other, site. His artwork is of the highest order and the envy of his peers, of whom there are not many that can consider themselves his peer. He puts real effort into his comments and always has something nice, humorous, clever and wonderful to say. Happy Birthday old man.. Hey, I'm 55 so your still in diapers as far as I'm concerned.. Actually, I'll probably be wearing diapers in a very short while.. but I digress... Happy Birthday my friend. I'm honoured to call you that. Best wishes for a great day, week, month, year, and lifetime. I believe in Karma and I tell you that good luck and fortune will follow you always and wherever you go. Best and warmest wishes David, from Dave :^) P.s. Cute Idea Mere and wonderfully executed.

Hehe, what a wonderful idea for our beloved David, Meredith :) I would really have picked cars A, but since you have already picked it I choosed the card J: CARD J HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY DAVID!! My very best wishes on this special day to a very special friend! Thanks for being you! Happy Birthday, David!!! I have to add my own words too..you are so special to so many of us, and as it is stated in one of the other crds..Renderosity would not have ben the same without you! I am so glad that I got the chance to know you and you will always have a special place in my heart. Love ya'! ~Big hugs from Hedda~ Thank you so much for giving this possibility, Meredith..I think it is the greatest idea I've ever seen for a birthday wish in here :)

Big happy birthdag to David!!! Great idea, Meredith!! COOL!COOL! tonz of hugz

Holy Cats is right, Meredith! LOL! I can truly say that I have been done up "Meredith style" here and what a fantastic and very dear surprise from one the the sweetest people ever! I really like card A, but I got a kick out of all the cards and can honestly say they all apply. LOL! I never would believe I would be seeing this from you today, and I'm just so taken back that you returned to fling your good spirit and kindness to us all! This place hasn't been the same without you all this time and now that you are here I can give you the biggest of hugs! Squeeeezzeee I really wasn't looking forward to being 40, but I do like round numbers and 39 bugged me a bit, so it's all good. Laffs It's just such a treat to see Meredith up there again and all that she stands for; knowing her creator made her from the spline up and all the good she has done for so many here. You took this site by storm and captured the hearts of so many people and I honestly have never seen any such phenomenon like it anywhere! I wish to thank you so very much, Meredith, for your birthday wishes, your sincere friendship, and your super sweet heart that I adore so much! Muaaaaaahhh I'd also like to give my thanks to all my friends for making the past two years an adventure of a lifetime, and it's been so rewarding to share this time with everyone. I really wasn't expecting this at all, but knowing that you are back, Meredith, there is no spoon. LOL! I think you know just how much this means to me and your glowing personality has always illuminated my way since we met. I will definitely be the first in line to say we all missed you terribly and it's more than special that you are back in all your glory. Thank you so very much, Meredith, for being you and for this beautiful gift that goes straight to my heart. Excellent image and words and you gave me the biggest smile today! P.S. I'm absolutely amazed that Digital didn't get any paint on her at all! When I paint I get it all over me! That girl is GOOD! LOL!

Happy birthday Shardz. This is an excellent tribute Meredith :)

Excellent work!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy birthday David! Excellent card Meredith!!!

I'll pick two...Card H and card J: Happy Birthday David.

LOL What a great idea and way to say Happy Birthday to someone! I go for card I! LOL Funny how you have created this birtday wish! If I look at it I would not feel like 40! I think it's beacause of this lovely looking lady in pink! Beautifull done! You are such an amazing and creative artist! Thanks for this special posting! Hugs Roland

I'm picking card H . Great idea.

super idea, artwork and face!

Mmm, lets see...Card "G" from me, 'you da man' much better than bieng called 'Sir' !!! Fantastic idea and gift Meredith...another Vote 4 Blond ! LOL & ~Cheers~ :o)

What a lovely idea Meredith. A very fitting dedication. You brought a smile to my face, but I'd better not tell you how old I am. Why the hell didn't you let the paint dry on the lettering, before posting? lol Well done. Very original and an absolute pleasure to both read and view! Steve :o)

I say "K" for all the above:)

B, B!!!! ...oh, wait... D ain't bad either... drats! Now i can't choose and it's all your fault!!! Ok... i'll go with a blind extraction!! wears blindfold, accidentally flip hand inside digital's shirt, pluck away what remains of it once she's finished, open up to reveal card... J!?!?! I mean!!! That's me!!! how would one expect me to be me with such words... oh, well.... He should know by now that he rocks big time and that we love him (no weird ideas though, 'kay mate!? O.O) and his crazed antics that can brighten most of our days - a (belated or not) happy 40 birthdays!!! LOL! Now i really gotta go... bra? which bra? Oh, this bra? Erm... must've got hooked when i was doing the extraction.... uhhh... how curious... O.O

Think I'll go with a mix from CARD G and H HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY DAVID!! You Da Man!!! & Take it from someone thats been there 40 isnt even a bump in the road!! Happy Birthday, Shardz Great work Meredith, your ideas just keep getting better & better!!!

I'm sending Card B! And I'll meet Davy in the white room! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KID!!!

Awesome Birthday wishes to an awesome artist and person! David has the biggest heart, and an abundance of talent! He's sharp, witty and very cool for such an "Old" guy! LOL Just kidding! I'd have to go with card D, even though he's in perfect condition... (Well he says he is anyway!) LOL Beautiful work Meredith!

It is Card B, hands down, no questions asked. But fellah, I got news for you...there are a bunch of us already there, and on really special days they let us count each others' belly buttons. Meredith, thanks for doing this; it is delightfully clever.

Great idea, Meredith!I think Card H is the right.EXCELLENT!!

LOL! Fantastic postcards. I don't think anybody else could have thought of postcards like these. Happy birthday David! How lucky he's so young! 8-) I suppose if I want to avoid those large knuckle dragging people I have to choose card number J. I need a bit of morphing here and there but I'm sure they do the wrong morphing on the wrong places. Great image and a woderful idea. Excellent!

Wet paint for the thin 40!!she is a little rascal..great and funny!!Bravo!!

WOnderful idea Meredith! SInce David is two thirds my age I guess I'll have to go with "C"! ;) BTW David, awesome galery!

A cute idea for a BD Card, Meredith. I love your painting above, and wow, the size of that brush could paint a house. Love it all. Huggs...Silkylady...

toooo too funny!! I don't kmow David but I wish him a most excellent birthday!!! HUGS Neesa
