idea of Design

As my background idea is based on this picture as well....

I have try to come out something like that but a bit different from this picture...

So I didn't use the one colour background, I use the greeting word which I have cut from this picture as my

background.....

As I know, Christmas mascot is Santa, Christmas tree, Snow man, Christmas Gift, Christmas Bell....

So my design will put in all this kind of thing....

To make other more easier to distinguish....

Final output....^_^
