The "Christmas Tree Shops" is today's source of inspiration. I chose this unusual TREE, but made it a more conventional Christmas one. One of my new PTI stamps has a tree which has clean circles on it. I guess they could be interpreted as eyeballs, but more likely they are to be the space for colored ornaments. I filled mine in with gold glitter EP and added a star on top (instead of a hat). Another card for the Christmas stash...done with Halloween. : )

Loving the aqua paper and pretty blue ink used behind these beautiful trees, Sallie! So glad you used gold ep instead of eyeballs! That inspiration tree is rather creepy : (

Lovely trees Sallie! Your snowy looking sky blue and the border colour really look good with the lively greens of your trees. I am envious of your beautiful gold edging; so straight! I alway end up with bumps in mine when I try. Love the sparkle too!

Beautiful card, Sallie! I love the trees and subtle BG you created! I'm always in awe of your BG's--I still go back to gaze at your Christmas Sled card from last year! You're a true artist!

So glad you changed the eyeballs on the inspiration piece to gold ornaments!! You've created a beautiful card. I love the use of the light blue cs layer to echo the blue in the sky.
