When finished, the panel made me think Poinsettias ... why not a little tropical Christmas card?

I must give credit where credit is due... last year, my friend Chriss Blagrave sent me this gorgeous embossed panel to play with. She was inspired by Shari Carroll's card blog here - you'll see I haven't come close to making mine as beautiful as Shari did - but that's okay, I'm happy, and I have another Christmas card made!!
I'll be sharing this with Nancy Thomas, who is encouraging us to join her for Christmas in July 2017.
I may have to do Second Helpings for CTD 451 - I'm feeling a little melon-izing coming on!
Thanks for stopping by ... it makes me smile, big time!

Welcome home, Michele! What a delicious card ... a wonderful take on Shery's (you definitely did her proud!) ... love that tropical Christmas style you've created with the background ... it's fun and stylish ... and brilliant with those luscious leaves and flowers! Hugs, Anita :)
I just love this Michele, what a fabulous overall design and that great background adds so much interest!
Oh my goodness, this is beautiful, Michele. Different from Shari's in that you used different colors, but no less spectacular. Wow! And the leaves, oh so pretty. What a unique and lovely Christmas card. I so admire the twists you take on your cards. So creative!
Wonderful Michele! Love this and what fun dies! I have to check them out! hehe
Such a beautifully coloured Christmas in the tropics card Michele! Welcome home!
Delightful, my friend. One of the things I noticed right off, was that your flowers weren't all colored exactly the same. And I like that. I like the variation very much! And I'm finding it very hard to finish this comment, as I keep stopping and letting my eyes wander around your card again. And again. It's marvelous darling, simply marvelous. Have a wonderful Sunday!! Bev
You clever girl! Creating a tropical Christmas card with your beautiful background, those gorgeous leaves, and sweet bloom was such a great idea! You nailed it once again, Michele...Love this card!
This is swoon-worthy Michelle. Absolutely gorgeous background, and those die cuts are fantastic!!!
Gorgeous colors Michele! I envy your creativeness and productiveness!!
This is stunning Michele! Love that background and fabulous die cut flower and leaves.
I am so happy to have seen this little number in person. What a beauty it is!!
