@Judy-Elizabeth-Wilson It could look really cool if they were all hanging xmas lights, this could be used to help unify the characters by having a line or element joining each character? Just an idea

[Judy Elizabeth Wilson]

@RobinSlee Thanks Robin. Yeah I like the idea of lights to unify the characters. I will give it a try.

[Judy Elizabeth Wilson]

Thanks @RobinSlee for the idea to put some lights around the characters to bring them together. Was this how you imagined?

[RobinSlee]

@Judy-Elizabeth-Wilson Hey, that looks great. But I wonder if the 'white' is too close in value to the 'blue' of the ice? Have you tried 'rainbow colours' for the lights?

[Judy Elizabeth Wilson]

@RobinSlee Thanks Robin. Yeah, I haven´t tried the coloured lights yet. I see what you mean with the value of the white on blue. I´ll give it a go and see how it turns out.

So cute- very cohesive piece, congrats!

[Judy Elizabeth Wilson]

@lmrush Thanks Lisa. I appreciate that. I´m working on the Christmas lights to see if they look better in colour.

[Judy Elizabeth Wilson]

@RobinSlee Hey Robin! What do you think of these lights? I like them more than the white lights. Thanks for your suggestion.

[RobinSlee]

@Judy-Elizabeth-Wilson Love it. They make the image so much more fun, don't you think?

How about painting one or all candy canes with red and white stripes? Although I like the overall blue feeling of the image, I think it could help breaking the color palette a bit.

[Judy Elizabeth Wilson]

@RobinSlee Thanks so much. Yeah definitely love how the lights counter balance the heaviness of the characters in the lower part of the picture. The lights brings everything together and guide your eye around the image. Thank for the suggestion.

@TamaraDomuzin Hi Tamara, thanks for your suggestion. I want to keep most of the warm colours on the main characters. I'll try the candy canes in red and see how it looks, as you said it will break up the blue.

This is adorable!! I love the added lights and the characters are so fun.

@Charlie-Eve-Ryan Thanks Charlie. I appreciate that. Yeah the lights were the thing that was missing. I'm really glad I posted this picture on the forum because I have had some great help.
