As with the gift yesterday, the metallic accents are a reddish bronze gold, and I had a piece of ribbon I thought matched the paper perfectly. That said, I just don't have the variety of blue or brown stuff that I do, say, for red, white and green, so I often have to push a little harder on the colour scheme.

Blue wrapping paper with bronze stars; plastic bead strand, silk flower, wire edged, raffia, and mylar ribbon; sony ILCE-7C with 90mm sony macro lens, f/2.8, ev +0.3, 1/100s, ISO 160, WB: cloudy; gimp unified transform tool and some futzing around with the background to square things up a bit.

As is so often the case when my options are limited, the design actually tends to be a bit stronger. I was really quite happy with the relative simplicity (for me) of this design.

And here's a closeup of the decoration. sony ILCE-7C with 90mm sony macro lens, f/2.8, ev +0.3, 1/100s, ISO 250, WB: cloudy; scaled in gimp
