It would have been looking a gift horse in the mouth not to take advantage of today's WT challenge and choose red and green to make another Christmas card towards my May quota .
5 3/4" square base, sponged with red, edges with brown.
Paper is K&Co from an old Christmas pad.
Sentiment is stamped on white card that was first sponged with Old Paper, Then I stamped a musical score in very pale grey, and Soft Holly in Bundled Sage. With a glue pen I added glitter to the holly berries. Cut the frame from brown card with Fleur de Lis squares, embossed with SU's square lattice and popped it up on foam. Spellbinders Poinsettia, Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish, and that's it.

Red and green for Christmas are the classic complementary colors and you've done them so beautifully!
