With us getting in to the full swing of Christmas now, for this month's competition we would like you to look at Christmas icons.
We would like you to think about what icons represent Christmas to you. What comes to mind when you think of Christmas? If you decide to use more of a traditional icon, could you add a twist to how you create the image? Could you use a different colour palette or pattern fills? Or how about a new icon which isn't typically a Christmassy one, but is done in a more traditional Christmas way, e.g. the use of colours etc.
Some more traditional icons are:
• Trees
• Foliage
• Stockings
• Wreaths
• Baubles
• Stockings
• Stags
• Snowflakes
• Robin

Is your design an all over pattern or just a single design on a card? Think about the scale and composition. You can add text if you wish. It would be great to see a real mix of designs and styles and something we haven't seen before.
We've included a few of our past designs as examples for you.
