ABC Christmas - P, Q and R are for...?

 It's time for the August challenge at ABC Christmas Challenge and we have arrived at P, Q and R. 

I'm Mummylade and I'm hosting this challenge where the letters represent:

P for Pink
Q for quartet (four of something)
R for Rudolph 

So many possibilities! 

A lucky winner will receive two Fizzy Moon stamps, I figured that after Christmas you might need to send some Happy New Year cards and then these will come in handy 🥂

This challenge will run from August 14th to September 7th. 

Don't forget that your project must have a Christmas or winter theme.
