Christmas Countdown Day 8: More Welcome

I had a pretty strong vision for my christmas wreath.  Since its possibly the only outdoor decoration I will get up I want it to be something I like to look at.  I went to several stores but couldn't find any red and white ornaments.  I bought the plain red ones and decided to try my hand at painting them.  It worked pretty well.  I used white acrylic, dots were easier than stripes so I coated the striped ones with mica flakes to hide the crooked edges.  I used a fake pine wreath as a base then added a bunch of fresh greenery and wired on the ornaments.  It looks pretty on my door and welcomes my family and friends.  :)
Happy Holidays!
