Instead of using the optional theme of Autumn with Tiets' Sketch for the Sugar Bowl Challenge 45 I have used the Warm Christmas Colours of the Sugar Nellie Paper Craft Planet Challenge Wk 24. As usual I have replaced the text on the sketch - this time with a swirl.

The girl's dress & hair ribbon as well as the ribbon around the flower pot are paper pieced.
