Christmas card - suggestions needed
I am making my card with my very limited Photoshop skills. I got my idea from this card from tinyprints.com.
I was wondering if anyone could offer suggestions for what to do with the white part of the card. The tree is really just a place holder for now. I'd like to put something that sort of shows "merry and bright".
Should I add more words? Do something different with the font?
I'd really love to hear any and all suggestions. Thanks so much!

What about a teddy bear instead of the tree?
Also I would center the text from top to bottom. Right now it is all towards the bottom.

I am not very good with suggestions (I do like that the OP suggested the teddy bear), but I had to comment on how gorgeous your DD is!! She's getting so big! We miss you guys!

I like it, so cute, great pic!! 
Maybe a Christmas tree that has lights on it (noticeable lights?) to fit the "merry & bright" wording? And I agree, move the text up in the text box to be more centered in that space.
Good job!
ETA: If I were you, I'd totally search around on more card sites for inspiration if you're at a loss...I love getting ideas from other places!

Re: Christmas card - suggestions needed
Thanks, everyone!
I did some more work but am entirely unhappy with what I've done so far. I think I want to do too many things in a very small space. Argh!
C - I did some more perusing and definitely got some ideas from doing that!!

What about a more festive frame around the text box, the scallop is nice but not very "holiday" themey.
Oh and you need to add Paaaaaaaaaa

You have no idea what it took for me to figure out the scallops!!!   (see the craft board for more details on that) THAT said, I think that's a good suggestion!

Thanks! I actually tried something like that but I couldn't get it to look just right. Perhaps I'll keep trying!

I would- there are some many cute clip art ornaments that would look awesome in that spot.
I shouldn't be saying anything since I can't even create a basic card on photoshop! I am beyond impressed- I just send my ideas to a friend on here to do for me
