    Shirley, I love how you have him colored. When I first saw him, I thought the ways to color him were pretty limited. I guess what was limited was my imagination. I love how your nutcracker is a "young" guy Great job showcasing this month's sets.

      Thank you, Marilynn. I liked what you did with yours, too. The idea of adding cotton was genius.

    I agree with Nancy - this coloring and image would make a good one for the Post office for a Christmas stamp!! Since you have foregone the Traditional darker colors, this has a more cheerful look - AWESOME card!!

    You did a great job coloring this. Nutcrackers definitely always make me think of Christmas...my daughter and her family collect them, and they are always displayed on her mantle.
