  2. I love the red! Was just thinking that I need to change up the way I stamp and do a bit less coloring this holiday season (and actually stampin' rubbah)!

  3. This is beautiful! I love cardinals they are just so bright and love their song. The DP is perfect, I will have to find something like that to use, I tend not to use DP because I can't find print small enough. Lovely card.
