H is for Holly
I really like the religious story behind Holly but I created two backgrounds in the event another participant preferred not to include. I sent in the background with the H is for Holly candy unattached. The history included reads, “The evergreen holly symbolizes eternal life. This shrub’s most conspicuous features have long been associated with Jesus Christ. The bright red berries represent the drops of blood He shed on the cross; their color also represented the burning love for God present in the hearts of the faithful. The prickly leaves remind us of the crown of thorns the Roman soldiers placed on Jesus Christ’s head.”
I used the Christmas Cheer cart and Edwardian Script font.
