Christmas Crafting May Challenge

The challenge at Christmas Crafting this month is sponsored by Di's Digi Downloads and was chosen by Morgan.The challenge was to use 'Twas the Night Before Christmas' poem as our inspiration.
I found my free image here after  long search and chose it because the mouse was reading "The Night Before Christmas" book.

The background frame is from Nitwit Collections.
