I enjoy digital scrapping, and liked the look of images on musical scores, so I played around with nontraditional coloring for this final card. The message is a simple one, reflective of the Christmas holiday. I've done many completely digital cards, and this combination is a first holiday attempt at a humble religious sentiment. I've made these into 5" x 7" framed images for a few nursing home residents from my sister's parish in FL. An acrylic frame works best.
