Spinning snowflake

Here is is already mid-October!  Yikes, this year sure is flying by.  I'm popping in today with some mid-month inspiration for Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra.  We're a month-long, anything Christmas related goes challenge.  Here is my card:
 I decided to try making a spinner card; it was my first one; and it was pretty fun and rather simple, too.  Here is a photo of the inside;
 And a photo of the spinner in "action":
