The colours used were inspired by this lovely Christmas paper I purchased recently. It is from KaiserCraft Silver Bells Collection and is called Carol #P1930.  The papers have lots of Christmas carols music words and notes on it but I have used a section of the paper which has some snowflakes and Christmas ornaments.

 

The additional snowflakes and sequins are from the SU Frosted Sequins Embellishments.
