Toby Ellis, from Beccles, has been awarded for his design in the nationwide competition.
Toby's mother, Lucy Eliis, was thrilled when she heard her son was selected for the Christmas card designs.
She said: 'He designed the card at school last Christmas for an enterprise exercise where the children designed and hand-painted water colour snowmen pictures.

The pupil from Albert Pye Primary School was chosen by Jane Asher, who is a patron of NAS.
