Jan's Cheese Ball

2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup green and red bell pepper, finely chopped
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
1/2 cup carrot, finely grated
1/2 - 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
2 teaspoon fresh or dried chives, finely chopped
1 cup cheddar cheese, finely grated

Mix together, shape into balls, chill.  Serve with crackers.

Have fun...  Make into small balls and roll in finely grated carrots.  Add a small piece of bell pepper at the top for a stem, and a few triangles for the face, and you have little jack-o-lanterns!
