For the card layout, I used the August 2012 Sketch For You to Try, and the color palette came from the ColourQ Challenge #152.
Even though this paper isn't a traditional Christmas design or color, I thought the white paper with the random dots was perfect for a Christmas card. I just wish I'd have turned that dp on the inside, so it looked more like ornaments hanging down. ;)
Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
