two pass on the shortest day of the year

I was asked to make the programs for my Grandmothers funeral.

This is what the final element ended up looking like:

and then it was just a matter of adding the wanted text in to get the final cover:

I think overall  this is the better program covers that I have made to date

I think it is interesting how my work has been evolving for the better lately.

With any luck this will continue.

I miss my grandparents.
