As You Like It Challenge #93 - Favourite Christmas Colours and WHY

Hi Crafters,

I hope you are getting ahead with your Christmas card making, if not then why not join in with our challenge at As You Like It with our theme of

FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS COLOURS
and WHY

This was a difficult choice for me. I love alternative colours for Christmas like Pink and White or Blue and Lilac but the traditional colours of Red Gold and Green just called out to me for this sweet image, so here's Bert's Christmas, isn't he adorable?
