It's round or square week over on the Mojo Monday blog and that always makes me happy :) Round card it is this week and the sketch was a fun one to work with, even though one of the panels is basically totally covered up by the poinsettia!I used some retired Stampin' Up DSP and added a nice, big, red poinsettia - well, as big as the card would allow anyway. I took a bit of creative license and moved the banner to the panel on the other side of the sketch so I could fit it in. A little gold twine and half pearls for a bit of shimmer, and a sentiment tag finished things off.

Gorgeous card, Marisa. Love the combination of papers and the embossed poinsettia as your focal point.
circle cards intimidate me, but you make them look effortless. Today's card is no exception. This is absolutely beautiful Marisa! The inside of our house is just about decorated (need to get a tree in a couple weeks)!
Yet another wonderfully done Christmas card. Love the mix of colors and detail - this is stunning. I am getting into the Christmas spirit pretty good this year! Hugz!
Beautiful, Marisa. Love the stripes and dots.
Have fun with the indoor decorating...such a fun time of year.
You are killing me with that poinsettia die! LOL! Wish we lived a TAD closer so I could come over to cut some....lol

This is a brilliant take on the challenge, Marisa! I love how you have dots and stripes and more dots and you've executed it beautifully so it's not jarring or overly layered. Wish I could do that!!
