Ho-ho-ho! Enjoy some fun pictures of Aneksi, the talking cat sidekick in the Purr-fect Relic Cozy Mystery series all dressed up for the holidays! There are also a couple with her long-lost sister, Khepeset.  I use these stickers on the backs of Christmas card envelopes, but you are free to use them however you wish.
