What the judges said:
What I love about this entry is that it looks like it is right out of a story book with the fonts, the background and the pointsettias. The budgies really stand out with their perfectly fitted Santa hats. A nice use of her native language. I can't think of anything that would improve this entry. Fantastic!
Corina, Dave will be in contact with you soon to give you all the details on how to redeem your gift certificate. Make sure you tell us what you bought with it!
Now that's not all! We have one honorable mention.
The winner of 30 karma points for the most original entry goes to..........:clap:

Jennie when I opened your entry my jaw dropped! This was such a unique take on the Christmas story, and I know that many of us got a chuckle when we saw your little baby budgie tucked away in the manger. Your entry was also noted by members too as being their favorite.
But wait! That's not all! We want to thank all of the remaining contestants by giving you each a gift of 20 karma points. Each card was truly unique and well done. It was a pleasure seeing them all.
Gracie-Mae and I would like to thank Kim & Dave for their help, support and judging abilities not only for this contest but for all the contests that were held in 2010. I hope we can have even more fun next year!
Now let us raise our glasses and toast all the winners. Happy Holidays to everyone! :cheers:
