Karen sure picked perfect colors for those of us who emerged from the daze of making 40 HYCCT cards and realized that they did not make a single holiday card yet. So here is my first holiday card using this week's colors of cherry cobler, soft sky (my blue turned out a little dark), and wild wasabi. The gold swirls are made by cutting the branches apart on the I O swirly tree die cut. This turned out a little busier than I expected, so obviously it is the fussy part of the challenge. I will try to make a CAS card later in the week...I usually fail miserably at CAS cards. I hope you join in this week and make a card with these great colors. TFL, Francie

Those do look like perfect Christmas colours! And a perfect Christmas card, the poinsettia is gorgeous, especially the way they spill over from the panel to the surrounding card. And how clever of you to dissect a tree to produce those beautiful gold swirls.
I have an opposite dilemma - last time I counted my Christmas cards I have almost enough. How am I going to get through the next month without ending up with too many!!!!
