My mother worked for Digital in those days. She brought home a bunch of cards and had actually found a pattern to make a CHRISTMAS WREATH out of them! Twisted at an angle, strung onto a wire hanger, sprayed gold or silver and then add a bit and a bob and a piece of ribbon - and there is was.
Gee - actually wish I had some and the instructions now, what a fun retro project!
