Snow Much Fun card

 



Squirrels and I don't always get along.  I do feed my birds and they manage to do gymnastics to eat it.  They also like to do closeups on my Ring doorbell and knock a wolf figure off the front of my house.  So what better way to honor them than to make a card.  If they could make snowballs...they would.  I even have a squirrel with no tail.  Don't worry about him though, he also can make it to the bird feeder.
