Create a trio of fancy tags that will brighten the top of any Christmas gift or package.  A few randomly stamped red snowflake images onto a tag create the perfect backdrop for a Holiday tree focal point. Then, finish each tag with a sentiment such as “under the mistletoe” or “holiday cheers,” a bit of glitter, a golden star, and a Tulle ribbon bow.  Instant joy for this package upgrade!
