Santa's Sleigh

Santa flies over snowy rooftops in his sleigh, piled high with presents and pulled by two reindeer in harnesses, while smoke curls from the chimneys and fir trees line the hills. It's a full scene with many small details in the harnesses, gifts and houses, best for older children and adults.

Classic red and white for Santa, gold or brown for the sleigh and a different color for each present. Color the house windows yellow as if they were lit, and keep the roofs white with snow.

Use a light gray or pale blue for snow shadows: it makes white areas look three-dimensional.

Red and green side by side can look flat; add gold or a warm yellow to lights and stars to make the page glow.
