Evergreen Sparkle

What a gorgeous combo over at In{k}spire Me #461 this week - GORGEOUS colors!
OK, maybe these colors are a tad unlikely for Christmas, but I HAD to try!  I also tried to stay off my Sparkle of the Season bundle - that seems like my go-to for everything these days, lol.  But I really needed those pinecones, darn it!  Anyway, I started with Evergreen Elegance, when I noticed that two of those pretty pine swags backed together would make a good oval shape.  Then I could run the sentiment banner over that.  That took care of all my colors except for the Mango, and I thought I'd mix in stars somehow when I finally just broke down and went for the Mango background - I can put stars on that, right?  It was a very backwards process for me, lol, as you can see, but not too shabby, if I say so myself!
