No squares allowed...or rectangles

Another fun card making session! Here's my second card for the Jingle Belles challenge, to make a card in any shape other than a square or a rectangle. You should check out the cards there, you'll love them. For this card I used the Merry Monday Color Challenge, using the colors red, pink, dark green and light green. That is probably my favorite combo of bright Christmas colors.

 
 
 I had such a fun time trying out my new Shapeabilities poinsettia dies and was very happy with my new Holiday Wishes sentiment stamps from Bo Bunny, all perfectly sized for card making.
 
I am also submitting this to Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra - Anything goes as long as it's Christmas and to Weekly Christmas card Challenge #44, also anything goes.
