You possess a keen eye for creative photography! The framing works beautifully, and the blend of light, shadows, and vibrant red colours makes this shot stand out. Fantastic effort! Good luck!

This is a beautiful piece of Christmas art, Nancy.
Your description wasn't super clear. Did you photograph the sleigh and create the rest? Did you draw the holly berries and leaves with a stylist? How were they created?
My curiosity had the best of me.

    HI Jewell, The sleigh is a photograph. I used the digital paintbrush for the holly. The background is a gradient of dark and medium red that I swirled and the white snow was created from a copy of the background that I turned white, added small lumps and bumps to and then softened the edges. I hope that clears up the confusion. I don't blame you for being curious at all. Sorry I didn't explain things better. Thanks for the great review! Glad you enjoyed! :o) Nancy
