I must admit I did try and cut out a yellow one too but realised that it would cut out the bits that I wanted (next time I will use tape behind the card to keep them in) so I stuck a piece of yellow card on the reverse of the church and cut round it so that the windows looked as if they had lights inside. I took the white oval layer and coloured it to look as if there was  a sunrise (checking it agai...
