Gingerbread + Peppermint

This is a little something I worked on last December. I don't think 1) I ever got the color combos quite right. I did want pink, red, brown, and white. I made one adjustment, but then abandoned it. And 2) There is a weird mix between parts of the design being simplistically and trying to do more complex shading. It needs more work. It's hard to get excited about holiday designs outside of the holidays though, isn't it? I don't know how people plan so far ahead when it comes to holiday prints.

I did enter it in Spoonflower Design Challenge and was pretty close to the bottom: 307/391. OUCH!
