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:

Oh how sweet are these 3 kings... Great fold for a pop up and let everyone see all season long! I like the sprigs of greenery you used, and beautiful coloring Pat.

Wowsers, I agree, do you ever make just a simple little ole card? I am always amazed at your incredible talent, and the ability to see how to put things together and have them come out so beautiful and perfectly. I am humbled by your talent and creativity. This is beautiful and I sure hope it maybe comes to our house for the holidays. I think Jesus is looking at all these great cards and smiling. I am. LYMI IRL
