It seems those tween years are most difficult, especially for me when trying to design a card for that young man. I created the numbers collage on the Silhouette and mounted it on plaid mat layer then black frame. Tag is blue cs with heat embossed packages and sentiment in black. Fussy cut the plaid for lower portion of packages and colored lids with copic. Added die cut white frame.

I’d really struggle with a card for a young man that age too but you nailed it. The number collage works great with the plaid background.
