After seeing the comment from Inkami about the challenge page Paper Playful I decided that I would see what crafting mischief I could get myself into on the Friday night. After about an hour just browsing through the challenges listed today, I went with the first one. Could have given myself more crafting time. Oh well.
So...
On the side of my work area, I am trying to work through my many, many 6x6 paper pads. Once I saw the Alphabet Challenge Blog- R is for Red challenge, I knew I had the perfect paper in that stack. The paper is from Stamps of Life - Holiday Wishes paper pad - from the September 2021 card kit. The page is just red bows about .5-inch square in alternating rows of two red colors - so hard to get it on camera.

You've created a great Christmas card, and the red bows make such a great background. To be honest, I thought they were butterflies at first. With a prominent paper like this, a card doesn't need many more embellishments, which makes the holiday message and the holly a perfect fit. The red strip in the background is a great way to create a transition between the elements you used. Thanks for joining the Alphabet challenge.

Beautiful card, the gold is perfectly paired with the rich red.
