Snow or brown leaves? Christmas Card.

Hello Bloggers,

A Christmas card today. Lots of Christmans challenges are up right now offering us tons of inspiration from their design teams.

For me, all my inspiration, as usual, ended up in a pile on one card :)

This is sort of a "wish vs. reality" card - the snowflakes are the wish, but in reality, so far, we have brown leaves covering the ground. It's still a month to go, though. The weather may surprise us :)

I know, this is a weird angle, but it kind of offers more view on the details:
