    Fabulous cards!! I really love how the "Peace Love Joy" in black pops against the gorgeous colors you used. I love the red cardstock you used for a lot of your sentiments - very pretty color! And that Santa GC holder is awesome sauce!

    I've always loved your work and been impressed with your skills but now you've gone into the realm of "JAW-DROPPING GLORIOSITY" (just made up that word). Every card is brilliant, the bokeh effect is amazing, the other backgrounds are stunning...I could go on and on. Suffice it to say you've absolutely ROCKED this DT assignment.

    From one delight to another in this array of gorgeousness, Deepti! Talk about lighting my festive spirit! Not only have you showcased the new products wonderfully, but you've sparked ideas for some of the older images (the candle, in particular), which I have in my collection. Can't wait for my order of 'newcomers' to arrive, because I see a couple cards here (okay...nearly all!) that I'd love to case. Santa stuck in the chimney: toooooo adorable!
