In Scandinavia one of the well known children's songs
at Christmas time
is the Swedish song about the three gingerbread men
who are "coming from Gingerbread-land".
As I was a teacher in Norway,
we song the Norwegian translation.
That song inspired me to this card
where I used a digital stamp from Beccy.
The text on the tag is the beginning of the song.
My experience is that gingerbread cookies
not always get an equal colour after baking,
so also these ones.
