This month Stacy's Christmas challenge for Flourishes is to create a card with your favorite holiday song being the inspiration. I chose The Perfect Tree by Ray Boltz.
The ornaments are ready
The place has been prepared
Strings of lights and holly
Are draped across the chair
The familyÂ’s all together
I know where they must be
Everyone is searching
For the perfect tree
CHORUS:
The perfect tree
Grew very long ago
And it was not decked with silver
Or with ornaments of gold
But hanging from its branches
Was a gift for you and me
Jesus laid His life down
On the perfect tree
Mother wants a straight one
The children want it tall
Dad just hopes that somehow
He can get it down the hall
Soon theyÂ’ll gather round it
As proud as they can be
But when theyÂ’re looking at it
I wonder if they see
CHORUS (repeat)
With all the celebrations
Sometimes the truth is lost
That every step this baby took
Brought Him closer to the cross

Well, what do you know? I started looking at Christmas cards and came across yours. This is gorgeous Dawn!! I have this set as well and have never used it. I just thought that Christmas cards would be a lot easier if I started early. I love the colors you have used. :>)
