Happy Holidays!

May you all enjoy the joy and peace of the season, whether you have snow or not!

A delightful card! Thanks. If I just had to critique, I'd like to see maybe just a tad of branch under that snow to the right of the bird. The white as it is alone seems to cut the branch in two. Of course, since I have no snow here, I'm a bit jealous that you could create this:)

Thank you for the season's greeting. The Mountain Chickadee is a fine messenger. The frosty texture is just the right touch.

What a beautiful card, Nancy. I like the frosty look and the red text - it has an oriental feel to it. I hope you have a good holiday:S3:

Wonderful card, but also a very lovely image.

I agree...it is a lovely image. The texture is perfect, and the curving branches add to the composition. Happy Holidays!

So very beautiful Nancy...I love everything about this one...hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Years!!!

You created a really beautiful card Nancy! Perfect for Christmas with the snow and frosty look. Wonderful capture of the chickadee. The colors are very peaceful and the red text is perfect.

I completely agree with this sentiment and wish. Yet, so hard to achieve. Lovely, gentle image. Beautiful processing. Perfect amount of detail on the bird. I like the softened branches. Maybe add a touch of catch light to the eye?

Thank you all! Anita & Hazel, good suggestions. Hazel, now that I am living in Arkansas, all my snow images will be from last year while still in high country of northern Colorado. I do not miss the bitter cold and snow.

Wow! A perfect picture and a great card! A very belated Happy Holidays to everyone, and best wishes for the New Year!
