Colorful Christmas Tree Peppermint Error

 In the chaos that's been my life, I made a huge a error on the PDF file for the Peppermint Colorful Christmas Tree.

The color key is correct but the chart is wrong.

If you ordered a printed leaflet from a retail store, please contact them for a replacement.  If you ordered a printed leaflet or PDF download from me, please email me and I will replace it for you.

I apologize for this error.  It's first time I make one of this magnitude!  Hopefully it will be last!
