Tiny Tartan

Another Christmas card made, I could be on a roll here.
This time it is for
Daring Cardmakers - Tartan it Up
Stamp Something - Favourite Sketch

This is one of my favourite Clean & Simple sketches which I use over and over, it is quick and has just enough elements in it to make it look like you've spent more than 10 mins creating it...which it does when you're organised.
I hope there is enough tartan on it to comply with DC challenge..lol!!
