Hi Brian, wondering if they painted this on wood? Love the simplistic look of this manger scene. The smiles within definitely radiate love. The haloes are definitely something to behold. They are huge! Interesting look and a nice capture! thanks for sharing and good luck in the contest! :o) Nancy

Lovely scene. Amidst the bustling marketplaces, Christmas magic is unfurling, painting joy across the canvas of the night, creating a holiday haven that irresistibly draws passersby. Lovely capture. Thanks for sharing!

Comment from Charlotte Morse
Oh Brian, I like this a lot! What were the figures made from? They look almost flat, like stained glass or something??
Well, however they're made, they do make a great Christmas scene and are spot on for this contest - for which I wish you the best of luck.
Charlotte

Thanks for the good comments think they were out of metal and painted but not sure as there was a fence in front to avoid people touching them
