CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra for November - Mid-Month Inspiration.

I can't believe December will be here in 15 days!

 

As we are in mid-November, here's my card for the mid-month inspiration for CraftyHazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra:

 

 

I chose Winter Penguin Trio from our super-sponsor Bugaboo Stamps. I colored the image with my Copics and, as background paper, I chose one that came free in a magazine.
