the modern poinsettia

categories: christmas, decorating ideas, holiday ideas

I have to admit that I’ve never been a huge poinsettia fan, but after seeing these images from Domino’s “reconsider poinsettias” DIY feature…I have definitely reconsidered!

One is pictured below, and you can click here to view the other one. Both are displayed using 4″ cube blumeboxes. Very cool!

    I like the flower bunch, the fact that they are mixed with amaryllis does not hurt either.

    Hi Shari -
    I promise to post the winner info just as soon as I’m allowed to. Sugar , Inc is in charge of getting everything with the winners squared away, and we can’t announce them until the proper paperwork has been taken care of, etc. There’s more info in the 12/13 update on the “Last Chance to Enter the Giveaway” post.
    Jenn :)
