A Little Reminder.

 Hello dear friends: As always, I pray you and your families are doing ok, keeping each other healthy and wearing your masks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope that by now, you guys have already sent most of your Christmas cards, I just have 4 or 5 more to send, they are here in the USA so I think they will arrive on time. This year I was a little more organized but still, here I am, finishing the last of them and sending them out. It help a lot that I created lots of cards during the year, when I make a Christmas card for a challenge, I make 3 or 4 more and that way I have a good stash when the Holidays come around.

Anyway, THE FLOWER CHALLENGE theme this month is "Add Embellishments" so I hope you can show us your embellished creations in our gallery. Here's the card I created, hope it inspires you to play along.
