September - Sketch

Good morning! Andreja here with you today.
Welcome to our sketch challenge here at Christmas Card Throwdown - CCT17. We are looking forward to seeing your festive take on our sketch! Don't forget you can flip the design and use an element of a different shape, but we should still be able to recognise the original sketch in your lovely card.

We can't wait to see what you come up with this sketch!
