Santa's Naughty List

The countdown is on for Christmas, and as a member of the Kit & Clowder community I joined in the Christmas Card Swap. This is the card I made for my lucky swap partner. I can't remember where the sentiment comes from as I had it printed out already in my colouring stash, but I though it went well with this little character.
