ORDER OF HOP:
You should have arrived here from the blog of the very talented Barbara. For my card today, I have a lot of friends that don't necessarily celebrate Christmas, but they love to receive a fun holiday greeting in the mail, so I've created a card with this fun Layered Holiday Wreath and added a Paper Doll and a fun Season's Greeting Quote Chip to make a red and green Season's Greetings card:
