Hi Bonnie, sorry I haven't been around to comment in such a long time. Your card is stunning. I love that embossed background, very unique and beautiful. Your poinsettia is so pretty with the inking and love the little seed beads in the center. Your peace die sentiment is such a pretty font and perfect for this card. Very pretty indeed! Hugs, Brenda

Such a glorious red! It looks like velvet, Bonnie! You've deepened that color in all the right places and the seed beads are spectacular! It's time I got out my own Poinsettia die! x

The shading on the leaves deepens that wonderful red and the seed beads are a great addition to the center of your poinsettia, Bonnie. Gorgeous card, my friend!

Elegant! Your pieces came together to make a fantastic card -- course I always fawn over deep reds and gold but there's so much more to tickle one's fancy too
