"Holiday Card #3"

Hello Everyone!
It is so wonderful to know that the weekend is approaching.  This has been a fast moving week.
I'm working on some holiday cards and today is #3.   I'm keeping up with the non-traditional holiday colors today also...pink and black as well as a somewhat CAS card:

I tried many times to take a good photo  but what you see here is the best out of all the ones I had.  The background on the original card is not that dark.  You can tell with the photo below.

However, I'm still posting here and over at http://www.wordartwednesday.blogspot.com for  their
