Neil made this fantastic bonfire using card, tissue paper and crayon.
The red and yellow tissue paper swirls into the air like a raging fire.
He also worked on the fireworks at the back of the piece with colour paper, crayons and blue, white and purple feathers showing the swirling and fizzing fireworks reach and sizzle in the air.
