I took Retta's comment to challenge yourself to heart and made way too tiny of details! lol Story of my life!
Anyway, reworked it and cut the simplified version, but still the detail was fragile for the 8x10" frame I was trying to do. I decided to stick it on anyway and surprisingly the many errors aren't too noticeable. I was thinking that I might consider doing this one again in a large format (15x20) and stick it on the wall at Christmas. I did have another layer in red vinyl that would only show through the candy and the berries, but I decided to just put a layer of red cardstock behind it for now.
Thanks for the challenge Retta. Although I used MTC and Inkscape to complete it, I did learn some new things with Inkscape.
