March 2020 Week 3 or Eleventh of 52 CCT blog theme of Christmas Lights

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity! My love of bold colors and mixing patterns are part of the motivation behind my thought process as I sorted through my Christmas supplies to make this "Deck the Dog" card!!

Seriously, the theme is Christmas Lights for the 11th challenge in 2020 for 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. The 3rd week of the month for rotation is either a theme or recipe depending on the design team member who is in charge of the month's selections. Goga has decided to go with a theme of Christmas Lights and I had a gift tag with the dog's head getting wrapped in strings of lights that I thought would work great as a focal piece=
