Flower of the Season

The Poinsettia was my mother’s favorite flower this time of year. She had these flowers all over the house. No, I am not talking two or three, but rather six or eight. So when I saw the Stylish Christmas stamp set. I didn’t care if it didn’t have the framelits. I knew it was on the short list of must-haves. I think this is my fourth card with this stamp set. When you color and cut it out it looks so realistic. I used two shades of red. .. the Real Red and Cherry Cobbler Blends. So share some love with this flower.

The flower originally grew in a certain region of Mexico. It supposes to given at the birth of Jesus and opened for him. At the time it was considered a weed. When it opened it was thought to be a miracle. The red colored leaves symbolize the blood of Christ. The shape of the poinsettia flower and leaves are sometimes thought as a symbol of the Star of Bethlehem which led the Wise Men to Jesus. When you see white Poinsettias it symbolizes purity. So let us rejoice over this beautiful flower.\
