Design of the month - September

Ok so its more like a bi-monthly thing but time is getting away from me.
Its about this time of the year we start to see the first glimpses of Christmas fare and freak out (well I do anyway) and let out the inevitable gasp: 'Are you kidding me? - Already?"

That aside, I mentioned this gorgeous custom combo-job in last months post. Its luscious colours and fantastic photos make it a beauty!
