I have seen so many wonderful cards made with this Cardinal and so here is my version, with probably a lot of your ideas mixed in. I messed up the Merry so I improvised, I hope it looks alright.

Very pretty card! Beautiful coloring; especially the leaves...and I like the red beak on Mr. Cardinal! Very handsome fellow. :cool: Good save too--I think it just emphasizes the 'Merry', and your metal spiral in the upper right balances the design.

Andy, this card is just so absolutely gorgeous! The scan does not do it justice! For those lucky enough to see this IRL - it is just stunning!! There should be a million comments on this! The glitter on the bird and leaves really add too! I can't say enough!!! Christmas Eye Candy for sure!! Love it!!!!
