Mr. Twigster is a cute set from the Holiday Mini catalog. It was the first thing I picked from the mini. I finally got time today to mount the set and play with it. This card seems unbalanced to me, but I need to work on some other stamping projects, so it will have to stay as it is for now.
The scalloped rectangle is three scallop square punches. I cut the scallops from one side of two of them and two sides of the third. Then I adhered them to a scrap of copy paper. The ribbon on the card hides the seams. You can probably over lap them rather than cutting them. I just worry about too much bulk, but it's probably a personal choice.
This layout is for Beate's weekend sketch challenge #60.

Cute card. I really like the tree from this set; reminds me of the tree from A Charlie Brown Christmas. Love it! TFS~~
SO cute! I love the scallop rectangle. I couldn't tell until you told me! Great idea!
I love the Mr Twigster Set. I browsed your US catty and saw him in there I hope we get him too. I love how you have done the layout on this card. Its simple, non complicated but highly effective. Well done!!
Renee, that's so cute! Love it!
Thanks so much for playing!

What a clever way to use the scallop square punch. It is definately an idea I will be caseing!
I love the way that you used "Mr Twigster" as the background instead of the focal point
