Ha, ha, you are right, it is not fair for Santa to hog all the limelight!! I love the way you used the birch tree background, the red Merry and Bright look fabulous against the Cracked Pistachio in the background - what a fantastic combo! The stripey deer and holly look so beautiful (well of course I love the red!). Beautiful work, as always, Nicola! Hugs, Anne xx
