 This layout was made for the Dotty About Flair - Monochromatic Madness - Heamatite (Metallics) challenge.

I chose these photos of Catherine and me in Washington DC just before Christmas 2019. On my last night we went to Enchant, a Christmas light show. The little wooden reindeer were perfect as there were reindeer hidden amoung the displays for us to find.

The challenge required two photos and wooden veneer.

I used:
