I consulted my trusty Stampin' Up! Color Coach for inspiration on this one, because I wanted to move away from my usual choices! Apparently Riding Hood Red is a complementary colour to Cherry Cobbler - granted, not terribly different, but all the same that's what I chose!
The colour differences on my card (injections of neutrals notwithstanding) are subtle, so I thought I'd point out what's different about the two Christmas ornamments. The left one (with the bow) is embossed in Cherry Cobbler on Whisper White card. The right one (mounted on the circle) is white-embossed on Riding Hood Red card.
