For today's Free For All Challenge (F4A145), we are to use fruits or veggies or colors of fruits or veggies. So ok, this may be stretching things a tad, but pine cones are fruits and so are the holly berries. Or I guess I could go w/ the colors rhubarb and celery. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it because I really need to make some more Christmas cards.
The images are all from Our Daily Bread designs and are a mix of new and older and pretty much everything (except the bg) is gold embossed. The chickadee image is from the new Chickadee Ornament and since I wanted to put it on my wreath, I fussy cut it out. The Apple Wreath (minus the apples) was embossed on a die cut circle. The pine cones (from Sing for Joy), were also embossed and fussy cut. I attached my wreath on top of a Wood Background I stamped w/ the sand ink. The greeting (from Christmas Flourished Verses) was die cut w/ a tag die. A bow and some designer paper finished my 4.25 x 5.50 card.
Thanks so much for looking! More details are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Love your choice of fruit and veggie colors and the groueous wreath with pinecones and berries. Sounds like a seasonal fruit to me.
