Your plaid is terrific, Barb, and goes well with that wonderful poinsettia.
I'm a sucker for a pretty Poinsettia, Barb - and MAD for your plaid! Can't believe your gold pen was able to draw these gorgeous gold lines!

Barb, your poinsettia is stunning and I love the white shape and the added plaid border at the end...it is so CAS and simple but packs a real punch! Love it!
Beautiful CAS card, your poinsettia and plaid add the perfect pop of colour ♥

A beautiful plaid using the inks and gold pen Barb - it's so pretty sticking out under the die cut white panel with the bright red poinsettia! xx
Love the addition of the gold lines in the plaid -- adds to the festive feel.
Your stencilled plaid panel looks so professional. I thought it was pyurchased pattern paper. Your poinsettia is so pretty against it. Fabulous CAS design.
Your card is absolutely BEAUTIFUL Barb! I love your plaid with the addition of the gold pen...really need to try that!! Your simple little Poinsettia is the perfect addition, and that red with the Peerless water colors is awesome!! Lovely, lovely card!! :0)
Love, love, love this plaid, Barb! Such pretty colors and the gold gives it a really classy look! The poinsettia and die cut edge make this even more special! Thanks so much for the fun surprise and pretty card you sent. It made my day!
What a great card design with the angled plaid panel (fabulous job on creating the plaid with a stencil) and the scalloped edge and beautiful poinsettia!
I LOVE your plaid with gold accent, Barb! The green plaid with the cute red poinsettia are the perfect combo of Christmas. The angled scallop edges adds so much interest to the card, and the white space balances so well with the colored bottom!

Wow, Barb - I LOVE the plaid you created!! That gold adds the perfect touch - I wondered if it was foiled, it's so perfect! Works great with the white scalloped topper too!!
Gorgeous! Love the colours you have used for that gorgeous plaid and the poinsettia is the perfect size for your CAS card.
