Roses In Winter Card

This is one of my favorite cards that I've used for many ocassions again and again (just switching the greetings). A friend of mine, fellow demonstrator (who prefers not to be named), made this card at her workshop years ago using a different color theme. Again, I use this card all the time with different color and have not gotten "sick" of it yet.

I am posting it to show that for Valentine's Day you can make cards like this (and the SDC 12 card I posted previously) instead of or in addition to the traditional "heart/love" cards.
