Warmest Festive Wishes card

 

Nothing says winter like ice skating up here in the frozen north.  I wear Yaktrax to keep me from doing any accidental skating in winter but when I was young, I had dreams of being the next Dorothy Hamill.  I was horrible but this gnome sure looks like he knows how to do a triple axel.  I did use a foam circle to make his pom pom pop.
