October Surprise Challenge (OWH Homefront Blog)

Here's a Christmas card I made for the October Surprise Challenge at Operation Write Home! The challenge is to have Christmas cards in the shippers' hands by October 15. My Santa stamp is from A Muse Artstamps; the sentiment is from Recollections. I used my new D'vine Swirl folder to emboss the background. I made the scalloped square with a Paper Shapers punch from EK Success.
The card on my next post below was also made for this challenge, but since I posted it on the weekly sketch challenge at OWH, I wasn't sure if I could post it in two places, lol.
