It's up!

Last night I put the tree up. The lights worked first time, and can be flashing or constant - which works out as a respective daytime/evening choice so far.

As it remains extremely mild, I've added digital snow and texture to a cut-out section of the tree - doubly faffed on Photoshop first, and then, U-Lead. Now it's my entry for Abstract Thursday's 'Christmas Card' challenge. Thanks to challenge-host Ingeborg for coming up with another of her excellent ideas.

Happy Winter Solstice, blipmates. Tomorrow the nights start drawing out again. I cleaned all our windows today! Hooray!
