Christmas in July - Warm Christmas Wishes

Today is the final day of the 7th annual Christmas Challenge at Catch the Bug.  There are wonderful prizes so see the site for more details.  Today is a photo challenge, and remember that there is a Friday Freebie. I made a pop up box card with my Freebie image.  The sentiment is from TLC, Create.  I added some shells and pearls to the front and side flaps.
