Rudolph days May challenge

Hello all 
Well it's the 25th May and that can only mean
Here is my card 
Items used 
White Scalloped card/red/white card stock
Re-used this Rudolph image 
Added some snowflakes, Sentiment and Stitched edge die

l hope your managing to keep busy with this Coronavirus
It's been pretty quiet for me as l only have 2 cats for company
My family do facetime and phone me and l am able to call upon 2 
l do keep my distance though but it's not the same as being close up
l for one will be pleased when there will be more restrictions lifted
But l will stress though that l won't be keen to go back to how we were before
l think it will take some time before l feel as if l could do this
One step at a time is my way of thinking
So please take care and stay safe
Sending lots of virtual hugs
