GIVE HAPPY goes global

Thank you for helping to show how the GIVE HAPPY concept is going global. Submit a photo of the Happy Card (if you don't have one, you can download one here) with something that represents where you are in the background. It could be something BIG like the Empire State Building or your "happy place" in your own backyard. It could represent your cause area (like animal welfare or clean oceans).
