I was prompted to make holiday cards in the month of November. I cam up with two different designs, this being one of them. On the 21st of December, we celebrate Yule, also known as the Winter Solstice, or the shortest day of the year.
The owl, candle, pine bows, oranges, and pieces of star anise, are all associated with this holiday.
I pulled in several different reference photos and then created my own atmosphere based on the candle light. The bright touches to the owl's feathers really make her stand out.
Have a blessed Yule!
