This is for the TSC challenge in where we were to make a Christmas card using buttons and bows.
I used lots of green varying sized buttons to make a tree and placed varying colors of dew drops in the centers. One brown shell button was used for the "trunk" of the tree. I ran the black panel through the CB using the bubble ef and placed Christmas ribbon across. The two black embellies at the top corners are the negatives of the EK Success border punch.
What do you think?

Lesley, all my life, we laughed at my mom's collection of buttons. And when she left, what did I request of hers? Yep, the buttons. This is sweet to me for that reason alone, and I love what you have done with them. Sweet. LYMI
