"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever; in its place is something you have left behind. . . Let it be something good."

Christmas heart

A few years ago, I started quilling hearts.  They seemed to be quite popular amongst my quilling friends, and with the renewed quilling energy I am having, I thought I might do a Christmas one.  I am not too sure of it yet, it seems somehow empty, with a lot of green background showing, but on the other hand I don't really want to add anything to it.  Perhaps you would let me know what you think.
I do like the little red crystals around the edge, though in the picture they seem to have turned more orange.
The letters are actually red with gold edging and the papers are done by the lady who lives in Holland.  I have had these papers for a long time, they were quite expensive and I am not sure that they are available any more, the gilding is the best I have ever seen.

Very sweet design, Rosie! I especially love the scroll bow near the poinsettia. I like it just as is, doesn't need a thing.
