    Cute & whimsy Santa Christmas card. Does make me think of the tropics. Summer here in Central TX is hot. Forecast for this weekend is triple digits of 100. We have had snow here. Once on Christmas Eve & as late as Valentine's Day.

    I think this card has a great combination of traditional patterns and colors and a non traditional image! Beautiful layout and bow!
