So lovely and wintry. I can see why you chose that picture. It just had to be the grey and you have brightened it up brilliantly with the pop of red. Perfect. Happy New Year xx

You should just go ahead and put this card in an envelope and address it to ME for 2024! Beautiful! Love everything about it. I just wish we had some snow to show off our beautiful cardinals here in PA....but just rain! Lovely way to interpret that mood board!
