Countdown to Christmas with Not Just Scraps ~ Card Four

Countdown to Christmas

with Not Just Scraps

Card Four

One of the favorite winter birds here in the south is the cardinal.   Of course the male with his bright red coat stands out no matter where he lands and attracts our eye immediately.  

Add the fact that his lifetime mate, the much muted colored female is never far behind...one can always enjoy watching them frolic through the fallen leaves during this season.

Like my hummingbird logo has a special meaning to me, the cardinal has a special meaning to my neighbor Trisha.

Being one of the 'bonds' between her and her Daddy, I knew several weeks ago that her card must have the red cardinal.  

This is what I came up with in honor of her Daddy.

How special it is to each of us to have earthly things that remind us of our loved ones in heaven....always bringing us back to the blessings that we are given each day and the reason we celebrate this Christmas season.

Thank you for stopping by today ~ Remember to comment here or on my Facebook page (Not Just Scraps) to be entered for a prize drawing after Christmas.
