Could these be poison ivy berries?

I'm thinking not because the wood doesn't look "hairy" - also it looks like yellowish or orangish flowers and I don't remember seeing those on poison ivy. But I could always be wrong....(so I just googled "poison ivy flowers" to see what they look like and there were a couple of photos of orange flowers- so ????)

Google Euonymus myrianthus. Might be it. Ornamental berry.

Euonymus myrianthus is (I believe) an evergreen and these vines aren't. And I couldn't see any hairy wood either so I guess that means it's not poison ivy. Yet another mystery of life. But thanks for your opinions.

No, it's not poison ivy. Most likely it's Asiatic bittersweet, an invasive vine. Around here it's absolutely everywhere.http://www.invasivespeciesinfo.gov/plants/bittersweet.shtml
