It was Asha's turn to choose the theme for this fortnight's CCC challenge and she said:
'It's Advent Sunday, and the countdown to Christmas begins now. The theme of the challenge is
"Silver Bells", inspired by the famous carol. Create a Christmas project based on this festive tune.'
I found some free sheet music of the carol and digitally added the bells and the street scene, fading them around the edges because I didn't want them to have white rectangles on the music. After printing, I coloured the bells silver.
