This card is SO MUCH PRETTIER in real life. The colors did not photograph well at all. It's so frustrating! My dessert - anything goes, was to add some shaded spruce bling because that said Christmas to me - without it my wreath looked kind of patriotic. Dang I wish you could see this in real life!! HAPPY TUESDAY EVERYONE!

Karen, I love this card, with or without the shaded spruce, the wreath and greeting say Merry Christmas to me! I love all the bing and that pretty double bow!

Yes, photographing our cards can be a challenge .... wish we could see this beauty in person, Karen! I love all the depth you achieved with your gorgeous wreath ..... and your sparkly ribbon bow is to die for!

Simply gorgeous! I love all the white with silver accents that surely make your bits of color pop. I do see some green but I know what you mean when the real life effect doesn't come through.

Wow, this is stunning!! I imagine it is absolutely gorgeous in person. It is difficult to capture the true essence in a photo. Beautiful design!! Love the white wreath with the gems & accents. Your fabulous bow is so pretty. Well done with the challenge colors and your card!

I love the snowy wreath, and the shiny bow. Been there on photographing. It is hard to get the right angle! You did a superb job, and I am sure it is wonderful IRL (as your creations are!)
