Hello there. I’ve got a very busy week with work commitments, but managed to grab a few minutes to get another Christmas card made ahead of the festive season.

Well it’s time for a new theme over at Sparkles Challenge and Dawn has opted for ‘mushrooms & fungi’, which feels very appropriate for autumn.
