How do you think this would be? I need to take something to church next Sunday night. I thought about cutting the crescents up and forming them in the tree and then putting the mixture on the top tp bake and use the tomatoes and garland. What do you think?

I could just stick with the Cool Veggie Tree I made at my show yesterday but with crescents. I think crescents would bebetter than biscuits.
 
It would work...

Jennifer - get the crescent rounds, unroll them and spread the filling in, roll them up and they are set to go.

You could also use red and green pepper as "garland or ornaments".
 
Sounds great!
Take some pictures when it's done!
