12 Tags of Christmas Day 6

I'm playing catch-up on the 12 Tags and here is my Day 6 tag. I have to admit that I didn't like the look of the sample tag, but overall, the technique can create a nice background. I used two Cuttlebug embossing folders and pieced three parts together, because I knew that my tag was larger than my folder and wanted to cover the whole background. I used more of a debossed, leafy design on the tag, then created a hanging charm with a strip from the other folder that was more of an embossed design. Did you know that you can also link your tags to the Inspiration Emporium blog for their contest where the prizes are gift certificates to their store? Check it out on their blog.

Love the pretty tag you made with this technique. And Ilike the swinging sentiment tag too. I like your colour choises.
