Happy Holidays!
Here is one of the 2010 Holiday cards I made this year. As usual, I was scrambling to get everything ready for 25 December. On Thursday afternoon, 23 December, I sat at the table with a card, a Pigma Micron and an idea.
I found a piece of paper with random swirled circles printed on it so, using the tangle, Cadent, I created a string. About 15 minutes later, I had filled the whole page with tangles. I finished by placing the completed ZIA into a lovely door-opening, tri-fold card and tied it off with red ribbon. Next year I have resolved (again) to start making cards in September.

ZIA is "Zentangle® Inspired Art" ‒ it refers to any artwork that is inspired by Zentangles, but doesn't follow the Zentangle format (3½ inch square). Here is the card closed, and standing opened on the table:
