Night Time Challenge

Hi Everyone


Thanks for your fabulous entries in the last challenge, the quality of your work just gets better and better. This weeks challenge is very apt at the moment as the nights get longer and a definite chill creeps over the land.
In many cultures there are celebrations happening which mark the passing of summer and most of them focus on the night, It's a wonderful time of year to see the night sky in all it's glory.
So this weeks theme is Night Time


and here are the wonderful designs created by the DT
