Such a pretty card, Lin! LOVE the pizazz the red stickles added to your FAB wreath! THX for playing with us at CR84FN!

I love the simple legance of this & the way you have picked out those red gems with the red button. The spotted ribbon is lovely with the button & twine added too - I'd not have thought to do that but it's really effective.
