Diwali is a festival of lights.Diwali involves the lightning of small clay lamps (diyas) filled with  oil  to symbolize good winning over evil. At night, fireworks light up the sky for the celebration. You can use this light theme to create some beautiful Diwali greeting cards to share with your friends and family during this festive season.My daughter made this greeting cards for her  grandparents.

How to Prepare:-
