Here's another gift in the brown/red/tan reindeer paper series: which I think makes obvious, the paper typically drives the decorations. In this case I've added another colour, a sort of pine green to balance the red, creating a triad of brown (tan is a tint, i.e. brown mixed with a lot of white), green and red, with touches of bright white to lend the design some snap.

I quite like the way the white dots make a subtle pattern, softening the bright brown.
