Coast to Coast

Happy New Year and the start of the birthday cards
I've got my brothers 50th this weekend so I thought I better get started on a card for him, as I don't have that many sets suitable for male cards I borrowed this set of my friend Paula,It is retired but I thought it would really suit. I ended up with the two designs so now I have to decide which one I prefer, any suggestions?
