Now THIS is an irresistible graphic. The other colour combinations didn't really grab me but they would have been more of a challenge, if that was what I was looking for this week. But, let's face it, term 4 at school, heading up to Christmas, the old brain cells are already in overload mode.
Tomorrow the Grade 4's go up to Middle School for the day - mixed emotions for my daughter, but she won't be alone there. The parents are invited to morning chapel then a tour of middle school, quite looking forward to it.
Anyway, onto the card for this month's blog hop. I wanted to imitate the panels behind the wreath, but the handmade version didn't work so went with an embossing folder. The wreath looked odd in any other colour than brown but probably could have used a lighter tone.
