Interpretation= my card has lots of white and silver with the hints of color from the red that made a visual impression on me. again, another link opportunity-- http://jinglebellesrock.blogspot.com/2019/07/a-rustic-glam-christmas-fireside.html

I haven't taken time to count how many I've made since January but I do know the Christmas cards are stacking up whereas Thanksgiving ones are just that--one...sigh....Going to have switch supplies and get some harvest theme stuff out.
