Coloring Tips
- 1 Blend yellow to orange to red for the flames; add a tiny touch of blue near the logs for a hot glow.
- 2 Alternate patterns on the stockings: stripes, dots, zigzags, or a snowflake.
- 3 Shade the bricks with light brown or gray, then darken every other line to make the arch pop.
- 4 Make the window night-time with deep blue and little white snow dots; keep the panes pale for shine.
