Finally, the way to fit a square peg into a round hole! 🙂

I had a heck of a time putting their little Christmas hats on (except for the one in the Santa dress). Lots of different pick modes. 🙃

R = Ribbon for wrapping presents.

Yes, that's Chef Gideon with the girls and his assistant chef. LOL

I think this is the last Christmas theme of the year! The template is from CD, the font is Nomah, presents from a Corel picture tube, and my sequin picture tube. Do you think the sequins were too much? I was going to delete them, but I ran out of time and had to post it to my group with only seconds to spare.

M = Milk and cookies for Santa

H = Holly

A = Antlers

U = Ugly Sweater

2:27 ~ I used to do jigsaws every day, but I stopped several years ago. The best thing to do is to click on borders. Once those are done, it's much easier to figure out the rest of the pieces.

What an amazing gift it is for the whole family! This is something to be handed down through generations.

S = Scrooge

I = Ice Skating I love watching people skate at Rockefeller Center during the holidays.

I never have, but during the holidays as a kid, I remember street vendors in NYC doing it. I imagine some still do.

R = Roasting as in 🎵 Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire.🎵

Ann, you are a sweetheart. ❤️

I found this gorgeous solstice background on Creative Fabrica in a bundle of twelve. It was hard to pick just one. The girls are from pngtree, I think. To create the "window" I combined a rectangular vector with an ellipse vector, magic wand selected on the outside, switched to a layer with a duplicate of the background, and deleted. Then I modified the selection with Select Selection Borders for the outline around the window. Added a little inner bevel on the text (Avenida LET font) and a drop shadow with 100% opacity and no blur. The singers got a smaller inner bevel just to give them a little depth. I kind of liked having the same background design in two different sizes. Any suggestions?
