Top-Notch Tuesday with Colorful Seasons

Falling Snowflakes Card Tutorial
Continuing through our tour of the seasons with the Colorful Seasons Stamp Set, we come to the blustery winter months.  Snowflakes are an image I come back to time and time again simply because they encompass a longer period of time.  Don't get me wrong, I adore making and giving Christmas cards.  But snowflakes last much longer than the holiday festivities, and also last much longer than real snowflakes last in North Carolina ;)
