Hi liseworks,
Love the simplicity of your card, it has a certain elegance to it. The snow on the pine creates such a beautiful look. The red ornament and the pine reflect this time of year very nicely. I enjoyed it viewing it very much!

Good Luck in the Contest!
Helvi :o)

Lovely shot. Colors are vibrant but not over saturated. The light on the ball is beautiful and really makes the shot. The snow is not blown out and has good detail. Your composition is nice with good placement of the ball within the frame. Focus and exposure are good. Lettering font is appropriate (though I would be inclined to add an exclamation mark at the end.) Well done.

Simple, clean and elegant. What more could you ask from a Christmas card? Great lighting, focus and construction. The tight POV zeros in on the elegant scarlet bulb and finely focused needles. Nice shot and good luck in the contest.

Very good Christmas card. Has that holiday feel to it. The red with the snow and the pine is very complimentary. Your "rule of thirds" is also great for this Christmas card. Great job.
