Magical and lyrical in a sense. I know what you mean about Xmas without snow. Great colors and composition. I wish I was in that image. thanks for sharing.

This is very beautiful Shawn. Such a wonderful Christmas themed piece, this would be perfect for a cheerful and uplifting type of card. Very very nice. Shirley

Comment from Mary Ann Woolman


Very charming and whimsical. I like the one that rolled away. I find an almost sureal qualtiy to this which is a bit odd. I think it is the fence and how "natural" it looks and the bush looks alien some how. Not unpleasant just "odd". I mean this well.

    Maybe it would help a little if I put a Santa's cap on one of the fence posts :) Tie it together more. Thanks, Mary Ann, for the excellent review!!

This is very cute and great for a gift tag. I love the bright colors of the ornaments. The one ornament that has fallen is a great touch. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Lynseey


I just love this picture, and right away it appealed to me. What first caught my eye is the wonderful clouds and the snow falling. I like your little tree and the little bulb that dropped off and rolled across the snow. The fence makes such great detail and gives it perspective. This is so beautiful and a festive work of ART. Thanks so much!

Well make great gift tags. I like how the ornaments seem to be glowing underneath their snowy cover. The fence add a lot to this peice pulling the viewer into the work. Your little detail of the fallen ornament which has rolled under the fence is great.

This is really cute! The snow on the bush's ornaments make them look like they're wearing Santa hats! It's funny, you wish for snow and I wish it would stop! :-) This will make a great gift tag!

    I don't blame you :) I wouldn't like snow for months at a time, I would just like to see it for the holidays, especially Christmas. Thanks, Susie, for the wonderful review on this!!

That is a very creative holiday gift card you have made. The colors are lovely, the snow is great. (Much more so in a picture than on your driveway where you have to shovel.)
Your card has strong initial impact, and lovely story telling ability.

Comment from Dazzleme


This is so lovely. I like how you have been able to display this with the snow and the bits of tree with the Christmas lights. Nicel done using the digital art here. Good detail and presentation.The fence in the front the the black posts stands out so well.
