Great cards, Isha! Very fun.

Isha, a dynamic duo of festive cards here! The wreath, in the non-traditional colours, is soooo eye-catching! The gift-toting elf is cutie-patootie! His present looks rather heavy...perhaps he's bringing me a new die-cutting machine, as my poor cuttlebug is on its last gears (poor thing...it's served me well, though!). Thank you for being part of Taheeraha's Advent series; your cards have me smiling!
Hugs~c
