Here is an ornament I have been working on for awhile and when I saw today's TLC challenge I knew I had to finish it! I started with 2 strips of 2" x 12" Graphic45 paper. I scored it every 1/2" and then used the scalloped edge punch along one edge. I accordian folded along the scored lines and put the two pieces together using Scor-Tape.
Then I cut/embossed a Beaded Circle Nestabilities (#4= biggest) out of some Gold Ore Metallic cardstock. I embossed the poinsetta flower twice using gold embossing powder onto some red cardstock. Then I cut them out, layered them together and added some Gold Flower Soft to the middle. I used my Krylon Gold paint pen around the outside of my accordian circle, too.
Hope you like it!

Lovely! Just out of curiousity, what diameter do you get when you use the two strips of 12" paper. I've only just got round to trying my first fan-fold flower, so I'm not able to judge the size well. It's beautifully festive looking.
