Today starts a new challenge at
Winter Wonderland 

where our lovely host Cindy has chosen the theme "Snowflakes" 

But before I get to my photo...I have to moan a little
...I'm so unhappy with my pictures lately.

Perhaps I need a new camera?

or this 20 year old Canon needs a good cleaning?
not sure which!
 The pencil strokes did not show up on this majestic bear's coat
and I was so happy with them! Oh well...looks better IRL.

 I coloured this digi image from Tiddly Inks with polychromos.

It is called Ricky Winter Light Wishes.
 The background paper is also from Tiddly Inks.
