Such pretty stockings! And I love that glowing background you created for them - I can just see the holiday fireplace now! Thanks so much for playing at Sparkles!
I love the hot orange and red tones with the stockings silhouette, very striking Kathy, and glad you had a day doing everything you wanted to..it's nice to do that sometimes. x
