Swimming by to Say Hi Card

I created this shaped card in the Cricut Craft Room (file available below) using the Cricut Create A Critter cartridge.  I loved this fish tank and thought it would be perfect with this fish and sentiment.  Below is a photo of the handbook page that has all these images:
The fish below is popped up very slightly.

The "swimming by to say hi" sentiment is from the Joy's Life "Pun in the Fun" stamp set which you can get HERE.
Here's a side view of the shaped card.
