The song that this card inspired just takes me away! I can get lost in it. The scarlet ribbon represents God's promise of Jesus' sacrifice, and the star- hope. I love that Jesus is called the Bright and Morning Star. The sentiment is from Rubber Cottage, and can be found here:

Sistah, this is just beautiful. That label nestie is perfect to show case The City. I love the colors and now I know what you were talking about when you said a pop up card. Super challenge card.
It's just stunning, Pat! I love that hymn too (although you wouldn't want to hear me sing it!), one of the things I look forward to most on Christmas Eve!!! TFS!
