Looking at the picture I still think Santa is sitting on a pile of liquorice allsorts, but everyone seems to buy into him riding a leopard, so leopard it is.
The cute little guy is watercoloured and the ribbon thing is a piece of ribbon folded with a running stitch gathered along the edges.

I can't say that they look like licquorice allsorts to me! Not that much like a leopard either, but I didn't go into any deep analysis . That pink paper is a perfect texture to go with the leopard-skin, and it goes without saying that your snowman is adorable. I must try one of those ribbon flowers with wider ribbon - so far I've only tried with lace and with fairly narrow twill.

Elizabeth this is super duper cute! Love your snowman. Your gathered ribbon looks like a yoyo especially with the button center. Your pink leopard print is too cool. Fabulous card here. TFS :0)

Elizabeth,
What a cute and jolly snowman. I love his hat - when he melts, I may borrow it! Your colors are beautiful and your animal print DP looks awesome against the pink! Your ribbon is so very lovely, as is the pretty flower you made! Wonderful card, as always!
