GORGEOUS!!! ...as always. Here's an idea, what if you make their name (the parkers) uppercase so it stands out from the greeting?

I want this christmas card! This is incredibly gorgeous. Love the change you made to do reverse out type with the kraft showing through.

This is cute, but think the white text is hard to read on the blue, what about punching out the text so it's the brown kraft paper?

LOVE! I agree with Ashley... hard to read the white text on blue... maybe if it was a little darker blue?
