    How much fun! You know, if there were real ants crawling on my ornaments, I'd be pretty unhappy, but girl, your ants are just adorable! Laurie has such a way with ants and critters! Great card, my friend - thanks for sharing!

    Love your use of ribbon and trim on this fun card. I can almost hear those ants singing, "Fa-La-La-La" as they help "decorate?" that tree!

    This is just precious Elizabeth! Thanks for you visit to my blog and for the fun reminisce of Christmas's past! I have several 'old' ornaments that used to be hung on MY grandmother's tree and I put them on our tree every year! Such wonderful memories! YEP ... we had those big bulbs that used to get SO HOT ... I can't believe there weren't more fires because at that time we all had LIVE trees!!! Happy Holidays to you!!
