Jan, YES!! Thank you! I surfed the web and confirmed that is what I have in the yard. I had thought I had seen this somewhere before but wasn't sure where. When you mentioned the name, it rang a bell with me and fired the right synapse. I've seen this plant on `NatureScene', the show from SC with Rudy Mancke. I even seem to remember that it was one of the only things his partner Jim has ever been able to ID (probably one reason I remember it). Incidently, the scientific name is Euonymus americanus.
