O.K...moving on...gotta pick up the critters shortly...The Embellish challenge is to use the colors below on a holiday project. I didn't have time to get super creative, so mine is JUST a card. (Sorry to disappoint.) But this IS one of my favorite color combo's...

I couldn't help but envision pretty, lush patterns in pretty, lush layers...
with a classic sentiment...
Thus, the finished product...![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLUTx4faJo8WMgwMbnehSF-p_SLHiN58LC6DvnO0w_ttIpxpWDBvqcQX_DxERkuzU03YDzsz9CWqlKEQhDJIlJbHtHQr9WIM_JX4yzcMZs_IDua5xSGlxsDAzlimomideRVGR8gu8P872E/s400/DSCN1716.JPG)
I admit, I'm just a sucker for scallops! So I used Paper Studio's "Mirabelle", and My Minds Eye's "Bella Rose" papers and layered them, one on top of the other. The bottom scallop is stamped from PTI's original Guide Lines set. I just can't seem to put away the Tattered Angels chipboard frames either. The bow is made from another favorite--ribbon from MemrieMare at Etsy.
Sure would have liked to have made another card with these colors, but I'm in the middle of preparing the kids' program at church. Little extra time for at least a week!
I hope you're having a great day! Please know that I appreciate each and every visit!!
Thank you again, Viola!!
