Day 5 - "E"

So emu isn't exactly the first "e" word that comes to mind when you're thinking about Christmas, but this guy has certainly gone out of his way to look festive! A little bit of glossy accents on the light bulbs and star add some fabulous shine to the card.

Emu might not be the first word when you think of Christmas but right now he is the cutest thing about Christmas. such a fun card and I like the little guys eyes.

After recently purchasing this set, it was the first E word that I thought of! I'm using the same image but different colour scheme and different card fold.

What a great shape for a card. I need to start thinking more outside of the "box". Your emu is certainly ready for the holiday with his shiny star.

Emu looks like he is really into Christmas! He's a cutie!

What is there not to like with this cute little Emu all tangle up in the strings of lights...
Well done and thanks for sharing this image.

Ehm...you're right, I would never have thought of 'emu' for the letter 'E' but I have to admit he looks very handsome in his Christmas attire.

I think Ellie the Elephant should dress up for Christmas.

E is for Excellent Emu card - LOVE IT ALL - the image and shape are WONDERFUL!

I LOVE this image but confess that I was worried about colouring feathers NOW I'm thinking that I NEED it for an "F is for Feathers" card => THANK YOU for INSPIRING Beccy :)

Great image and shape. Emu might not spring to mind but boy he leaves an impression

Is that a popular Christmas story we don't know about in the states? Because inquiring minds want to know. Emus obviously brighten people's days with Christmas lights wound around them. Love that tree shaped card.

Emus aren't common in my neck of the woods. I'm not even sure that our local zoo has any. He's a cute critter though and I bet he'd have all kinds of Christmas stories to tell.

Gail said...

Do people have Emu's as pets? Really never heard of this creature - but I think I would like one...and a PIG too - one that does not grow to be huge - a tiny horse would be fun as well - I think I need to live on a farm??? Cute card with this Emu - decked in lights! TFS

Such a cute emu but oh, those staring eyes....

KT Fit Kitty said...

Now that's a festive emu! He's so cute! I love how the lights look like they are glowing, such gorgeous colouring! Awesome triangle shape too!

NanaConnie said...

Oh, Beccy, this is such a fun card! Love that emu, even if he isn't first on my list of Christmas critters. His eyes are so expressive and he looks totally baffled as to how he became so wrapped up in Christmas. ROFL

I can just imagine this wrapped up Emu singing a little Christmas tune, maybe accompanied by a kookaburra. I love the sound Emu´s make, but I must admit that they are a little bit scary (think it´s those big feet).
