AbstractThursday183 Christmas Tartan

I started out with some shots of our blingier tree, using ICM and then using Picasa created a collage by overlaying horizontal and vertical versions of various of the shots.  I don't know exactly how blingy the result actually looks but it did remind me of a tartan of sorts.
Before this, Mr MC and I went to Forty Hall to have a look at the rooms dressed for Christmas depicted in different eras.  Free to enter, the displays were quite magical:  I've added some shots in extras.

I'm extra late in posting this as it's now actually Flower Friday.  I'll be back with a flower shot later
