Reminder of the Important Things in Life

This time I was thinking hard about a Christmas tree and how I could put it together inside the ornament and how I could decorate it. Well, here are some pictures of my thought process and how it came about. Sincere thanks again to Charlotte Canup of The Art of Quilling of whom I purchased the pattern to make a snowflake inside an ornament. She inspired me to go crazy with the desire to see what else I could try! Here I am rolling it with the quilling tool. Here I've shaped them into squares... It really is put together inside this flat plastic ornament!!! T...
