You have certainly brought a smile to my face during a dark and scary time (I am supposed to go in for back surgery next week). Your cards today as lovely as well. I love how the paper piercing matches the DP so well in your first card and all the stickles on the trees in the second - such an elegant and pretty touch! Thanks again!! :)
