Victorian Merry Christmas Card with Angel Holly & Bells

Our rosy-cheeked girl in the white bonnet takes center stage, gazing out from her circular vignette with the serene detachment of someone who has fully dissociated from the holiday season. She's framed by an aggressively holly-heavy border that screams 'I will stab you with holiday cheer,' and surrounded by a pale blue outfit that matches her unsettling calm. Three gold bells dangle from red ribbon bows below like the world's most festive chandelier, while the letters of 'A Merry Christmas' are rendered in a chaotic multi-font, multi-color situation that graphic designers would call a cry for help. The overall composition layers holly, ribbons, bells, and one suspiciously serene child into something that manages to be both relentlessly decorative and faintly threatening — like a wreath that would report you to your parents.
