A fabulous card touched with the traditional story and flower. Love this Carol. Sorry I’ve not visited in a while, life has been very hectic, I hope to visit more often now?

Love that you included the photo of the New Zealand Christmas Tree and it's story. Thank you for sharing your pretty card with us at Double Trouble. Have a Happy Holiday Season!
I do love the card. I would never have thought to combine the background with the image, but it's kind of mesmerizing.
So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas for our challenge of using flowers in your project.
Wonderful card, Carol! My parents were world travelers and visited family in New Zealand, saying it was one of the most beautiful places on earth. Thank you for sharing this story and thank you for sharing at Double Trouble Challenge #155. - Melanie R.
