Lin, this is one of my favorites of yours - so striking with the red and white! I love the doily behind the snowflake and wow, is that double bow ever pretty! Well done! :)

Goooorgeous! LOVE the red - you've made it look so elegant here, not overwhelming (which is what usually happens when I try to work with a lot of red ;)). The doily is so beautiful!
