This card is for one of my younger friends...so I chose those Owl themed Christmas paper. The ladies I crop with are all the age of my daughters so they keep me young! I even liked the words Jolly Holiday in the swirl beside the owls, so I kept that as my sentiment.
I covered all the little baubles on the tree with small red diamonds. Not sure if I should have added more of them on the little dots beside the swirls. I didn't want to take away from the pretty 3D ornaments so I exercised restraint!

Hi there Scrappymo - I think your card is just perfect for one of your younger friends. I love the colours as well, different to the normal Christmas colours, which is really refreshing. I did smile when you said you used restraint with the little red gems - I am so glad to find someone else out there just like me!
Hugs to you Sue Pxxx

Really cute card!
That happens to me sometimes, too, where colors are off in photos. Occasionally I can adjust it in photo editing program, but not always!
