Bettina says: I just love the circle shaped Christmas card in green and red sparkly colours. Gorgeous colouring and additional snowflakes. Absolutely stunning . 

Donna says: What a totally fabulous scene Kate has created.  It looks like something straight out of a children's book and I can just imagine Aurora's wonderful adventures.  Beautiful coloring all around and just the right amount of embellishments.  LOVE it!

Unky says: Just in love with colour choices for hair, and colouring itself is done with perfection! and love how you used grey papers for deco, it makes the image stand out much more. Awesome job. 

Maureen says: Great colouring, fabulous fancy fold 3D card. Love it.
