What an adorable card! Very sweet! I have to guess who is who's hero, but I think the boy is the dog's hero. He looks so happy to his little master. Am I right? Thank you for joining us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. Hugs, Sandra

Brilliant idea to recycle an older Christmas card image. As for using real leaves...I love that! They even go through the embossing machine and hold a fabulous texture. Thank you so much for sharing this card and your tip with us at Top Tip Tuesday!
