Thanks @reesha for the title! If not for you I would had named it something incredibly dumb like Fries Are Done. Here have some muppets with that fries! Carol of the Bells is my favorite Christmas song X)
An incredibly simple wall with a somewhat cliche concept but I do hope people will like it nonetheless. If it kind of reminds you of a certain tumblr theme, well it is sort of unintentionally inspired by it. I had been wanting to do something like this for a while. And I also wanted to use the snowing texture by w-child, now finally I did. Honestly, it was added more as an afterthought to make it more "christmasy" but it works perfectly. The ribbon was drawn from scratch and then vectored. It's intentionally orange to sort of match the girl's hair but with reduced brightness. I wanted to use Christmas holly instead of ribbons but it did not turn out the way I wanted to. Does it looks kinda wonky or out of place?
Time taken: Half a day or so (including extraction)
Tools: Photoshop cs6, Illustrator cs6
Textures: Vintage paper by Knald, Snowing by wchild, paper textures concordia by lizn

Hmm, nice wall, I would like a 3rd version :D I like the snow on 2nd revision but I just think the character has too much snow on her front, I like the way it creates a different atmosphere I just though that she looses a bit her place in the wall when I looked to the 1st revision. Anyway, just my opinion :) Thanks for the wall and "Merry Christmas"!!
EDIT: Thanks for the 3rd version :D

Simple and cliché wall? I love it. So I'm going to avoid my usual long eye melting wall of text since I'm sick and can't think straight. I prefer the second revision since the addition of snow gives it a more "Christmas-y" feel. Great work on the extraction and just my usual opinion on your use of textures: love it =3. Sooooo... great work as usual and Merry Christmas mecha! ^^
Hmmm... since it's the holidays, I can finally set this as my desktop without any worries.

Yay! I'm glad that I managed to help you. huggles
For the wallies, I go for the.....third version! ^^
I love this wall of yours. The design is simple yet it works. XD Good use of texture and the character is well extracted. Plus, adding the snow which is of different sizes is indeed a good idea. Great job!!! Besides, your wall shows that simple typography works, as long as you match it with suitable design and concept.
Keep on walling and try out different things. Looking forward to see another mecha wallie soon. ^^ Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Great work! You are really good with your typography! Love the snow effect and placement, the offset of the girl with the text looks really good! I like how you made a non festive scan seem really festive too! Great work!
