    Love the detachable ornament, what a lovely idea to add to a card. I could see using a small picture of the family on the centre, would make a perfect gift for relatives and close friends. Thanks for sharing and the chance to win.

    Love all the cards. Gave me some great ideas for next year. Love the ornament one but will the post office take it? They all are super. Might have to do lots of different cards next year as they all are so great. Would not know which one to chose so do all and family members would get different ones.
