Paula (PEP) said...

Santas have to look right for me - he does. Love your green checked ribbon with that accenting tab on the image panel & your white branches to embellish. Delightful to see the checked effect highilghted by your embossed background (it's probably best described the other way around but I'm not retyping the whole of this comment!). As for your doodling - it picks up the pattern on his mittens & I lovehow you have shaded those. Such a lovely traditional & unfussy but fun card. Can you tell I like it??
