Snowy Christmas Card

 This cheerful little bird is also from this year. Painting all that snow was the fun part--I added some blue and red at the top, gradually tapering off to all white at the bottom. The stick, painted once the snow was dry, wasn't too bad either. The worst part was putting the snow on the branches; I found out that it's harder than it looks! The paint was either too wet and clumpy, or too dry and didn't stick (does this sound at all like snow itself, when you're trying to build a snowman??). I actually broke all artists' rules and copied this picture just like I saw it on a Christmas card in a pack we found at the dollar store.
