Christmas Card 2021

For this 2021 card, I used one of my favorite Christmas drawings, a Madonna and Child from my 2010 Advent calendar.  It's computer-printed with a large white border on Neenah solar white card stock.  The handwritten words say "Christ the Savior is born."

Since 2010, I've used one of my annual Nativity drawings for the card fronts, with a greeting inside "Wishing you all the joy of Christmas."  To see past years' Christmas cards that I've drawn, click here, then scroll down.
