Very nice card looks festive with the red and greens. The only thing I would change myself would be the ribbon. I think I would either tie it to the front with a knot or leave it off. Just a thought.

Me too... tie the ribbon. You can get a knot to lie pretty flat... I did this on most of my cards this year and none cost me extra postage. Besides that... it's very nice!

I too was thinking that something different could be done with the ribbon.. hmmmm I am not sure what. I LOVE the white on read and the choices of green. Sometimes I think after making such elaborate cards, we forget simple is cute too.

It really catches my eye. I love it. Like somebody else said, I might knot or tie the ribbon. Out of a scale of 1 - 10 (10 being best), I'd give it a 9.5!!

Adorable! Like everyone else said: the ribbon - it's too sheer. Here are some additional suggestions in addition to the ...bow... that has already been given: 1) add some silver cord to it to ...double it up... and tie it into a simple square knot; 2) go with grosgrain which has more depth and will match the white tonality of your snowflakes; 3) leave it on, tie 3 additional sheer ...bows... onto it. Otherwise: *LOVE* your card!!! GREAT job!! ~ K

I think it's super cute! Love the colors and how it all "pops"! As for the ribbon, if you don't want a knot, maybe float the hat image over the ribbon, so the ribbon sort of anchors it? That wouldn't add any bulk...

I too think your card is great. Like most have said, so something with the ribbon. I would use the white grosgrain, to give it more texture and have the whites match better.
