Hi Crafty Friends,
Here's another Christmas card for the Pearly Sparkles "Add Some Sparkle and Shine" November challenge.

There are several choices for the tail lengths as well as bow layering options.  I think this will be a "go-to" die set!!  I've also used JB's fun new Trendy Christmas Tree stencil with Distress Texture Paste in Sparkles and a sentiment from their new A Gift for You sentiment set.  These products made for a quick yet stunning holiday card.
