Puthandu (Tamil: புத்தாண்டு), or better known as Tamil New Year
or Chithirai Thiru-naal, is the celebration of the first day of the Tamil new year
in mid-April by Tamils in Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry in India,
in Sri Lanka and by the Tamil population in Malaysia, Singapore,
and Mauritius. its the same time People from Andhra celebrate Ugadhi
and in Kerala its celebrated as Vishu and Punjab as Baisakhi
it was supposed to be
"Iniya Tamizh Puthandu Nalvaazhthukkal" in the card ...
i was Quilling as usual at mid night :)) and the words have changed
i realized it only after the letters were completely dry .
for the letters i used the same paper thread (my previous post )
i wanted to quill a Kolam ..but there wasn't enough space .
