I agree, very clever to make that with shadow writing as well as whole design. Definitely a very good choice. :applesauce: :applesauce:

Finished a little wreath for my front door at Christmas. It's only about 5x5 but so pretty.

Thank you. They are beads,and I am making it into a flat ornament. I have a red satin ribbon bow for the top and more red ribbon to hang it with.

Thanks everyone, I enjoyed that. Put it together this aft. Didn't add the bow, it took over the wreath. Since I was left with the extra space at the top I added a little angel charm. Looks balanced now.
