Your poinsettias are so stunning! That red color is beautiful and the embossing makes them pop. I love to emboss! Those sequins add just the right touch. Not to much and not to little, it's just right. Last year I bought a poinsettia plant but it was blue with glitter on it! It didn't last very long but it was pretty while I had it. Thanks for showing us your pretty card and for giving us the chance to win something. I can't wait to see what else is on here. I have lots of Altenew stamps but I don't have this one. I might have to think about it.
