One seed can start a garden, one candle can light a room, one step can begin a journey, one conversation can start a friendship, one smile from a handmade card can lift one's SPIRIT!

This card is so neat! Loved how you used the partial wreath image...it draws attention to the baby Jesus in such a wonderful way. I really like the color scheme, too...it's not one I would have ever thought of.

I really like how you used the rustic wreath! That is so smart...something I would never have thought to do. The gold makes this card so striking. You are very, very wise to get going on your cards so early!
