Boughs of Holly

I made this card mainly because I wanted to make a Christmas card. I wanted to try to make at least 1 Christmas a month this year but that hasn’t worked out. After I made this I think we will make this one at the retirement home in July when we do Christmas in July. I used pop dots on my deer and the strip with the saying but when we make it at the retirement home I will make it flat (easier for them to mail).
