My Dad loves cutting the hedge in the garden, and wants to do it most weekends, so I drew him this card for Father's Day...

A birthday card for my Dad:
My parents celebrated their 40th Ruby Wedding Anniversary on New Year's Eve, so I drew this Red-hued card for them:
And finally, my Christmas card that I made for 2017:
