JWildfire Escher Flux Snowflake

This would have been my entry into the December Monthly Challenge "Winter", but I already entered one.  Here's the link to the journal about the Challenge: December Monthly Challenge: WinterBeginning this month Digitalists is launching it's official monthly challenges! Each month members will be asked to create a new art piece based on the theme chosen by Digitalists admin. The themed art work must be submitted by the deadline to the corresponding challenge folder via the group favourites. Once the deadline has approached the admins of Digitalists will announce the winner who will receive a 3 Month Premium or 636 and feature all of the participants from the month!
I have created a countdown ticker and placed it on the group front-page so everyone will know exactly how much time is left to submit their art. Also, the folder for December's challenge has already been created for member's to submit their entries. 
 December Monthly Challenge: Winter
 The theme for December 2014 is: Winter (you can opt to make your piece based on a specific holiday or just Winter in general

But, I like the shininess of this one and it is more practice with JWildfire which I am still in the early stages of learning.  I hope you enjoy it!
