Fabulous card, yes like you, I do many things at the same for use later, like my recent chippies, painted many but maybe too many of the same colour.xx

Love the elf on the shelf (in our family those elves are Nicholas and Holly), who's keeping on eye on everybody to report to Santa! Great idea to make multiples of the brick wall.
