Bird Life- Holiday or Winter Colors

Welcome to the December Soartful challenge! The theme for this month is Bird Life, with a Holiday/Winter twist.  Please use a winter holiday or winter season color scheme for your art piece featuring our feathered friends.  You could use a traditional color scheme (such as red and green for Christmas, or blue and white for Hanukkah) or come up with your own original idea for a holiday/winter color scheme. (Who says a winter color scheme can't be purple and silver?)

To give you some inspiration, below are two digital collages I created for this challenge. Credits can be found on my blog (see link below each piece). Our talented design team has also come up with some beautiful samples, also shown below.

Please join us for a festive and feathered challenge! Link to your blog post in the comments section below. And we wish all of you a wonderful holiday season!
