Xmas Wrapping Paper

The Christmas tree is a frequent illustration on Christmas wrapping paper and Christmas cards. Coppeplate script is also very popular at this festive time - it is an elegant script style which emulates handwriting and as such imparts a personal touch.

The use of tartan in these Reindeer illustrations is appropriate for wrapping a gift from Scotland. Note how one of the illustrations is used (reversed) in a gift tag. Red is a colour associated with Christmas - it features in holly berries, Santas costume and Rudolf's nose! Here red is used in the gift tag thread and in the reindeer illustrations.
