Masculine Birthday Cards

We had a birthday here this weekend. My husband received these two handmade cards. The first one was created by my teenage son. He and I created our cards simultaneously, can you tell? We actually shared similar elements: circles, strips.  It's funny that we both ended up with the strips running down the right hand side because we really didn't discuss our plans,we just started creating, reaching for punches and pieces of paper.
