Well done on your win Kathy! What a great card - smashing snowman there and I adore the background paper. I suspect that has to be a USA product. Red cardinals are so perfect for Christmas - and use less colours than robins. Lovely to see you in the Playground, as always.
Hugs

Wonderful Christmas card, Kathy. I love your jolly snowman and the patterned paper is just perfect. I wish a few of the cardinals would fly over to the UK, it would be lovely to see one IRL. Thank you for joining in the Allsorts Challenge this week using the Magic of the Season option

Yes, it will now be a mad dash and you are off to a great start with your cute snowman card, Kathy! It's a fun idea to use the cardinal pp as the background! Let me know an update on the knee when you get a chance. Hugs, Darnell
