Again, I used one of the poinsettia's I picked up at the Dollar Store last year. They were with the Christmas goodies and they're just the right size to put on a card. The ribbon is some that was given to me a while back and I've never used it before....and the Merry Christmas sentiment is from a very old SU set. I wanted to make this card look like a Christmas package.....um.....surely someone out there can see the resemblance! But, no matter, since it made a quick and easy card for the holidays!
Head on over to the Shopping Our Stash challenge and submit your entry.
I'll be back in a few minutes with my {Pin}spirational Challenge post.
Thanks for stopping by........

I think it's gorgeous! I love how you wrapped the ribbon on the layer - it totally looks like a package :) That poinsettia is really lovely!
I thought it looked like a Christmas present even before you said anything. Your poinsettias were a great find. Hope you can get more from the dollar store again this year.
Fabulous, just gorgeous! I need to give this design a try... I have some huge flowers which I don't know what to do with(an Ebay purchase gone wrong) but this would be perfect. Love the red against the white - always so classy.
I hope it's ok Lynn because I pinned this card plus I'm going to CASE it!
SO PRETTY and effective. Attractive, very attractive. Love your simple and yet so charming card. Ribbon is perfect adornment.
Love,

Love this card, Lynn. Yes it does look like a package and one that I would hate to open because I would not want to destroy the packaging. We just got power back on 2 hours ago. It was out since Sunday, so I'm hoping to catch up with challenges tomorrow, this being one of them.
Wow! Lynn - this one is a real show stopper!
My first thought when I saw this was that it was a beautiful Christmas package! Very elegant!
And then you throw something super elegant and stylish out there too. X
Love your card Lynn! Red and white is always appealing to me! Thanks for all your thoughts and concerns, I really appreciate it!
WOW gorgeous Christmas card Lynn! I love that beautiful ribbon, it matches the poinsettia perfectly!!

Love your Christmas package, Lynn! The bright red and white are so "dressy"! Love the flower "bow" too!

This card is absolutely stunning to me. The simplicity of the red and white color scheme is a perfect "back drop" for that absolutely BEAUTIFUL poinsettia. I have ordered a poinsettia die, and as soon as it arrives, I'll be back using this gorgeous creation as my inspiration!
Love this! Great CAS design and a wonderful way to not only use the flower, but also make it the focal image of your card! Pretty sure I'll be CASEing this one!!
Wow, beautiful. Great way to use some pretty ribbon or washi tape.
