And I've had time to make another Christmas card for the facebook challenge, Sundays With Santa.  The challenge is to use non-traditional colours.  I feel I have to tell you that first or you'll wonder what on earth I've done: I knew I wanted to use Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder colours together, as...
