I am absolutely positive that most of you have used the phrase "Less is More" many times in your life, and this card definitely reflects that. I have been in that mood myself for quite some time and I am trying to find more and more ways to achieve a "wow" factor with my designs. [...]
Holidays are just around the corner and there is no flower that is more festive than a poinsettia for Christmas.
