It's not a very exciting pic either - I took it before the card was even finished - it's minus it's greeting and just stood on a piece of white paper!
I got a bit carried away with the Twiggy Tree die when it was lying about on the desk during the recent mammoth 'Christmas Card Make' and I cut out enough trees to destroy a rain forest - and then in my 'tidy' mode I scooped them all up into a neat pile and left them there!
The little red bird was also a ' cut out just in case' thing - I have got into the (bad?) habit of cutting more than I need 'just in case' when I'm assembling something in anticipation of me making a mess!
Birdie was waiting in the wings (sorry about the pun) if Robin wouldn't sit nicely in the Secret Garden, - Robin behaved himself but his twin brother turned red with anger as he really wanted to have a nice shiny birdhouse and moss around his feet!
For his penance he is destined to spend his life in a cold and frosty tree in a place with blue glitter paper sky and lots of snow on the ground..... (actually he's been sent complete with a suitable sentiment attached to the top left to a friend who no doubt will allow him to get warm on her mantlepiece....)

Such a lovely creation....wonderful trees. Thanks for sharing this with us at Unstampabelles.
It's gorgeous Viv! I've tried doing the just in case thing too but ended up with too many bits that were always the wrong colour & then my spare bit box gets out of control lol!! xx
Fabulous card Viv, I like the trees the wee bird and the snow.

LOVE the card, but the birdie lookslike a cardinal to me :) Our robins would fly south in such cold weather. I do think you have inspired me to make a similar card! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
Lovely card. I love the trees and the sparkle! Thanks for joining us at UnstampaBelles.

It's a wonderful card, Viv!
Hi Viv . . . and welcome to the Snippets Playground with this fabulous Christmas card. That is a gorgeous tree die and I love the snowy ground you've made.
Now, normally Di would welcome you too the playground, but she's kinda left me in charge while she does some "teacher training" . . . so it falls to me to let you know you have extra goes on the swings for being a Newbie . . . oh, and don't forget you can find a big friendly (and probably raucous)gang behind the treehouse, swigging the bootleg eggnog and mulled wine we made!
Hope to see you again with more snippet cards.
Hugs

Poor Robin! How cute - love this card. Thanks for joining in the fun at Unstampabelles this month for our Christmas challenge!
I love the glitter! Thanks for playing with us at Use It Tuesday, especially at this busy time of year.
This is just lovely! I'm going to start working on my own version to use as a wall hanging. It's just so striking. :)
Fabulous!
