Critiques welcome! Thanks so much in advance! I think I will use one for my personal Christmas cards-I will add dazzling diamonds to the star as well. (The colors match my DD's Christmas dresses) I'd especially like opinions of:
Velvet vs. taffeta (both ribbons are mellow moss--the velvet does look a bit olive in the picture)
Black swirly in the background? yes or no
Adore (in pink) to the left or somewhat centered?
Could I add paper piercing anywhere? Suggestions of spots or would it be too busy?
Hugs to all who answer-I know I'm a pain in the hiney!

Just wanted to say that I think both cards are great. But I too like the complete package of the left card....but I do like the pink adore further to the right...somehow then it seems to flow down in a diagonal fashion in the design from the top.

Okay, I'll play! First of all, I think the layout is terrific and I really like both versions! My fave would be: leave off the black swirlys
Have the "Adore" centered
I like the taffeta ribbon
I don't think it needs any piercing
Beautiful Christmas cards : )

I love the new taffeta ribbon. so I guess I am partial to that one. But I really like the Adore from Tres Chic used for the sentiment. Beautiful cards.

I too, think they are both wonderful....I guess I would prefer the velvet ribbon, no black swirls and the adore to the left. If I was going to add any paper piercing, I would pierce around the large star to draw attention to it.

Very pretty! I really like them both. But, since you are asking for opinions...I like the velvet ribbon, no black swirls, and the Adore to the right. Thanks for sharing with us and letting us help you out!

Love them both, but for me it would be velvet, no black swirls and off-centered ... maybe a little piercing in the top right and bottom left, but I like the design as it is.

Well, I like both of them. I prefer the one on the left with the Adore to the left and the taffeta ribbon. Having said that, I don't think you could go wrong with either one. I LOVE them, as do many others, I see. Gorgeous Rhonda! A perfect Christmas card imho.
