2 (8 ounce) packages crescent rolls
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon dill weed
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2
Remove the crescent roll dough from its packaging BUT DON'T UNROLL IT.
3
Cut each tube into eight slices and arrange the slices in a circle on ungreased baking sheet (about 11 inches in diameter -- you can make your circle on an pizza pan).

Bake dough wreath for 15-20 minutes or until the dough turns a lovely golden color. Cool for 5 minutes or so before gently removing wreath to a serving platter. Then, cool it completely.

When ready to assemble, spread the cheese mixture over the baked wreath.
8
Sprinkle with chopped celery.
