I hope you have a happy Christmas! I'm thankful for the birth of the Savior, who humbled Himself to come to die for the sins of all.

The papers are double-sided and thinner than cardstock, but still ... View the Post

It looks a wee bit rough, but it is always good to exercise the brain. :) I often take these small paintings, clean them up, and use them in surface pattern design regardless.
