YOUNG designer Sophie Williams has drawn inspiration from the pantomime season to create a Christmas card that will be seen across the country.
The seven-year-old was victorious in a competition to find the festive card to be used by Darlington's Civic Theatre and Arts Centre.
Sophie, from Darlington, produced an impressive design on the theme of Peter Pan - this year's pantomime show at the theatre.
Her creation featured classic characters Peter Pan, Tinkerbell and Captain Hook decorating a Christmas tree.
Yesterday (WED) Sophie saw the first batch of cards come off the press - to be sent to arts contacts throughout the country.
Tori Deanne Creighton, aged five, from Darlington, was runner-up and third prize went to nine-year-old Kelsey Gormley, also from Darlington.
All of the winning designs and other entries are on display from this weekend on the ground floor of the Cornmill Shopping Centre.
