Inspired By #152 ... dashing through the dough!

 Tell me these aren't the cutest doughnut snowmen of all!

                                

Having just added a sweet little set of snowmen to my stash, it was easy to put into play what I was inspired by ... I'm tipping my hat to the hand-cut top hats on those adorable treats:


Do you recognize this snow-dude?  Here's a refresher:


A few tiny snips allowed me to substitute his bag of presents, 
for that top hat!


What inspires you to play along with IB152?  Maybe you need a few donuts to stoke the creative juices?

These are wonderful, I especially love the dark background, I recently did a galaxy background sky and loved it, but your B&W one is divine!
