Christmas Time Accordion Centerpiece

Celebrate the magic of Christmas–steampunk style–with this uniquely shaped accordion mini album. You’ll create this mini with the new Christmas Time collection, combining traditional seasonal colors with whimsical steampunk imagery. Not only will your mini highlight some of your favorite holiday photos, but it also folds out into a festive table top display that you can configure however you like!
