Variations of Christmas Gelatin Cutouts

The recipe for Christmas Gelatin Cutouts makes about 4 dozen. If a smaller yield is desired, use only one flavor of gelatin and half of the water, milk and pudding.

You can also use other flavors of red gelatin, such as cherry, cranberry and raspberry. If your family isn't fond of lime, just used all red gelatin.
