Fun huh?

I just love these colours!

I decided, in end, against going with the festive theme, and opted for a celebration theme. The presents kind of spoke to me!

As I'm writing this I'm thinking it looks a bit top heavy!

Oh well.

I used the flowers from Tropical Hideaway, and the banner with sentiment from Wish Big.

The sketch inspiration actually came from the most recent

Fusion card Challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
