One of my favorite Santa images.....good to get it out again. The sequins might look a little garish, but they are iridescent ones and the camera does tricks with them. : )

I didn't think they looked garish, but I know what you mean about the camera and those shimmery iridescent ones. I thought they looked really great on screen, so I bet they look even better in real life. Love the script in the background - French, I see - and your soft colouring in those chilly blues.

I LOVE how you've done this Sallie!! Love the script bg and that is one of my favorite Santa images too (I don't have it but did a Tole painted one VERY similar years ago!)
I love the soft blues too and the sequins are a fun festive way to embellish!! I love everything about this card!

Sallie, this is pure magic! Love the combo of snowflakes and script for the bg and Santa's face peering through. The blue tones and sequins give such a beautiful wintery feel. Thanks for playing in my challenge and treating us to your magical card. Lots of dessert for you!

What an amazing card you have made here Sallie. I love how you incorporated this wonderful santa image into the background so seamlessly. This looks positively magical with all the blues, the snowflakes and the text. This is going right into my favs! ~Karen.

I have this Santa image and I agree, it is one of my favorite. Love how you stamped the BG and your amazing coloring. The sequins work great with this card.
