Angel Tri Shutter for the Ho Ho Ho Holidays!

In the spirit of the season the challenge for the next two weeks at Retro Rubber Blog Challenge is Ho Ho Ho Holidays.  

 For those of you that know me well, it will not surprise you that this card includes an angel.  I have collected angels for at least 40 years, and this image is from 1998! Tri Shutter cards are fun to put together and by using a combination of inks on different panels the card is easily color coordinated.
