This week's Inspiration Challenge site is Ethan Allen, home of beautiful furniture. I chose this red Hudson Chair as my inspiration. Because I was trying to combine this challenge with the February Fan Club Christmas Card challenge (which was Red Red Red), I was looking for something obviously red. I had to do a little alteration on this card. The white layer originally went to the edge, with just a small red strip showing. But I smudged some ink on the outside border, so I cut closer to the poinsettias and frame to salvage it. I added some white pearls in the red "frame" to fill up some space. I think I like it!

Very pretty Lois! The tone on tone is striking and the reverse colors with the pearls is a nice touch. TFS
