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.
