After stamping the earth ornament and die cutting it, I added a die cut red bow, holly leaves and berries to the top. The left side of the cardinal paper was die cut and I added another die cut piece of red underneath to help define the border. The lt green/vanilla bg was stamped with Vintage Mini Pattern 1 and the green ink. The dk green is another sheet of the Christmas paper collection. I added a few die cut hanging stars to finish my 5.50 x 4.25 card.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff

That globe makes a wonderful ornament, Julie! Some fab diecuts, too - the little stars are sweet.
So neither of us had a woodpecker, it looks like ;-).

now Julie, if I tried to add all those interesting little tidbits to my card, it would just look silly but you add everything and place it all in just the right way to come up with a great card...so pretty....
