Here is a quick card I could not help but make for this weeks Less is more challenge.  I've already entered once, so I hope a second is ok.  

I rummaged round places that have not seen much daylight in my craft room, and I found some silver card which has a rainbow finish, it looks very pretty as a snowflake!  The sentiment is from a doodlebug set.
