FESTIVE WISHES

Good morning, and welcome to my blog.  Today I have this very cute Santa delivering his Christmas gifts with his Penguins.  The question is, don't penguins live at the South Pole, and Santa at the North Pole?  It looks like he had a couple of hitchhikers because they don't live with him.
This image is from Polkadoodles, and our theme today is Christmas in non-traditional colours. 


A quick look at the inside of the card.

I love this colour combo together.  My mother would say to me, "Just look at nature, all colours go together."  Which is so true.
Don't forget to drop by Digi Choosday and check out what the rest of the design team has created this fortnight.
