Here's my creation for this challenge. I took a little liberty and made the mistletoe berries red instead of white - it just looked better!!! LOL! I used the Curved Rectangles Nestability to frame Little Zin (Zinnia), the Martha Stewart String Lace Corner Punch, and a 1/8" punch in the tag! I couldn't resist the sentiment just begging to be added - with her standing there holding those ominous looking shears!!

All stamps by Stampotique: Lil Zin (Zinnia), Mistletoe Computer generated sentiment inspired by Freakin' People Person |
Mistletoe
Sitting under the mistletoe
(Pale-green, fairy mistletoe),
One last candle burning low,
All the sleepy dancers gone,
Just one candle burning on,
Shadows lurking everywhere:
Some one came, and kissed me there.
Tired I was; my head would go
Nodding under the mistletoe
(Pale-green, fairy mistletoe),
No footsteps came, no voice, but only,
Just as I sat there, sleepy, lonely,
Stooped in the still and shadowy air
Lips unseen—and kissed me there.
- Walter de la Mare (1913)
