Took some liberties with Ally's sketch to make it more CAS. Used the cardinal image in place of panel #4 and the pine foliage for #5. I also centered the circle to have better balance with the wreath and clear embossed the greeting below the wreath as not to detract from the cardinal.

You have such a flair for design, Sallie! Your wreath is beautiful particularly with the snow you added. I love way you showcased the cardinal and kept the sentiment low keyed.

I Adore cardinals, and since they're Virginia's state bird, we have them in abundance so I get to enjoy them often! Your snowy wreath and pine sprigs are so Beautifully done, Sallie! I Love the gray bg as it allows the bird to really shine~
