This is on my work table this evening. Have no idea yet where I going with the actual card design, but pretty pleased with the image. Since there are so many holly leaves, I used multiple green combinations to add variety to the wreath. For the bird, I used color washes of C1, BV20, and RV10 to create shading and highlights.
