MERRY CHRISTMAS


 Merry Christmas in July.  I made this card for a special friend for Christmas 2025, but I have never posted it on my blog.
I love the colours; they were something a wee bit different for Christmas and not so traditional.
Here's a quick look at the inside of the card.

There are only 21 more weeks until Christmas, believe it or not.  Where has 2026 gone too?
