  2. Wow Carole! Two fantastic Christmas cards and card designs. Beautifully coloured images. My favourite is the second but only because I love the reindeer, they have such cute faces. Lovely paper on the first card and the star die is very wantable :). I love how you tied the colours of the snowmen together with the gorgeous flowers. Debra x

I love the papers and the fun jingle bells tied to your twine!! Love them both my friend! HUGS
