Penny Black Robin


Didn't realise that my card looks crooked, I'll have tried to straighten my Penny Black Robin card before posting. Still not sure how the camera can make the card straight at the bottom and crooked at the top. I know its a proper square because I used the lines on my cutting mat to line up the ribbon and papers etc.
I sort of followed the Sweet Sketch Wednesday but I used a circle for the centre which was allowed. The papers are from LOTV.
The card looks fairly busy but apart from ribbon and a few red pearls thats it.

It's always a mystery to me have a square card rarely looks that way in photos Debby, I get so frustrated some days doing my photos.

Square or otherwise, it's a delightful card.

Wishing you a good weekend.

Gorgeous card Debby, l think it is going to be a good year for holly berries, last year we did'nt have any and this year the tree is absolutely full - until the robins get them of course lol x Susan x

Absolutely brilliant hun, love the traditional "English" Christmas feel of this and of course who can resist a bold and cheeky robin. Hugs xx PS. Crookedness is partly camera lens, and partly geometry

A beautiful Christmas card Debby. A nice design, colours and image. I often have the same problem with my cards looking crooked on the photo. It is frustrating. Have a lovely weekend. hugs, Marlies

Oh Debby your card is wonderful I just love this Robin, a bird we don't have in New Zealand. I think your card is pretty straight to me, I always have problems getting it perfectly straight. Love your Robin outside the window and that wonderful red ribbon and bow is the perfect finishing touch to this card. Great card and thanks so much for joining us this week and sharing your talents with us and good luck.
Hugs
