FIRST Minister Carwyn Jones has personally congratulated the nine-year-old designer of his official Christmas card from Cwmbran.

Travis Carter, of Ysgol Gymraeg Cwmbran, was given a signed, framed copy of his winning design showing Father Christmas delivering his presents by a Welsh dragon-drawn sled.

As the Argus reported yesterday, the winning design will be sent across Wales and the world by Mr Jones after more than 700 schoolchildren from across Wales entered the competition.

Mr Jones said: “From the many excellent designs we received, Travis’ striking and clever image caught my eye.

“I’m sure it will bring a smile to the faces of all those who see it this Christmas.”
