    Fun photos. I have one of these trees. My MIL gave me. It is from Sears. We figure it is about 60 years old. Next year I'll take a photo of it. Fun card

    So fun looking back at pictures. Thank you for sharing with us. The gold embossed stars, used as a background, are a perfect addition to your holiday card.

    This is fabulous! I love that you shared your inspiration (such fun photos), and that you even incorporated the color scheme from the photos with the red just like the couch. Thanks so much for playing along with the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge this week.
