Easy Avocado Wreath

This is a very cute holiday idea, but I must confess I didn't make the wreath because I was more interested in eating it (my nickname is Runs with Scissors). I secretly envy the foodies who make cool designs and art out of food, but I lack the patience or desire to do it myself. The photo in the cookbook caught my attention to try the recipe, but I'll have to rely on your wreath photos. Recipe courtesy of Home Cooking The Costco Way.
