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!

Your stencilled plaid panel looks so professional. I thought it was pyurchased pattern paper. Your poinsettia is so pretty against it. Fabulous CAS design.

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!!
