I used one of Conie Fong's new releases, called "Sally's Christmas Friends." As anyone who lives in snow country knows, our lovely feathered friends need a bit of help finding seeds for sustenance so I had Sally hanging not ornaments but suet & seed balls for her sweet little cardinal friends.
Yes, I used the traditional Christmas colors of red and green but that's my favorite color combo for the holidays. What do you think?

We do require the use of Conie Fong images to enter those challenges but how could you resist those darling images?

Check it out to see if one of your favorite images that you've been wanting to get is one of those on sale. :-D

Nana Connie this is gorgeous. I love the image and how you made suet balls as baubles. I live in UK and am very lucky to have lots of birdie visitors as I have a bird bath and lots of bird feeders.
