Caught a couple of cracking sunsets recently, here's one I'd like to share, along with a cheeky squirrel who just wasn't phased by me photographing him! He (or she) almost seemed to stop and "pose" before cracking on, along the top of the fence panel!

Superb festive make here! Love that jolly Santa. Really like the die cutting behind him too.
Thank you for coming to play in the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND. See you on the swings later and a cocktail up in the Treehouse too! x
That is such a jolly Santa Kathy and some super added glitter too. I love the circle burst die cut from the background and the red used behind it looks great..love the red sentiment covered dp which frames the Santa perfectly and a lovely red stamped sentiment too. x
Sorry Kathy, I was interrupted and forgot to say congratulations on winning over at Lost Coast Portal, and great photos of the sunset and that cute squirrel. x
I love the joy that really pops of your card!
And what a beautiful squirrel! I just love these fast little creatures,,, Hugs, Gerrina
Great card Kathy - what a Happy Chappy Santa is! Love the die cut you used - I have a NBUS one waiting for a first outing. You positioned it perfectly. That's a pretty squirrel too - they're so entertaining.
