Joyful snowman

It's certainly feeling like December, which is good when you're making Christmas cards.  I made this one using Sketch Saturday Sketch #288, turning the sketch on its side.

The snowman is from Paper Cupcakes, a digi company that's no longer in business.  I did an out-of-the-box cut on him and put him a little off-center to leave room for the snowflake embellies. I think it looks reasonable balanced.  Snowman is colored with pencils, and there are silver Stickles on the snowflake and on the snow at the bottom of the snowman

I'm entering the card in these challenges:

Sketch Saturday Sketch #288, sketch
