MANALAPAN — When Casey Dreyer of Manalapan was 18 months old, a photo was taken of her trying on her mom's bra. Obviously it was a bit too big.

      Casey is now 8 years old and will be in the third grade at the Clark Mills School in September, and that picture of her is gaining national exposure as one of the 60 finalists in Hallmark's yourBloopers card creation competition.

      The competition encouraged people to submit their funniest photos with a hilarious message.

      Casey's mom, Brenda Callahan of Cliffwood Beach, entered the photo in Hallmark's online contest in January accompanied by the caption, "You can't always get what you want … but you can keep wishing! Happy Birthday!"

      The photo was released May 4 on a card being sold online at Hallmark. com/you and as of June 22 it can be found in more than 10,000 participating stores nationwide.

      Callahan won $250 for being a finalist. The finalist with the most sales of their card by Sept. 13 will win another $2,500.

      The card can be viewed online at www.hallmarkcontests.com/bloopers/ind ex.cfm.
