Prompt
Scene: a cosy window nook on Christmas Eve, snow falling outside the frosted panes over a quiet hill-town street with warm-lit cottages; on the sill a mug of hot cocoa with marshmallows, a knitted red scarf, a small bowl of oranges studded with cloves and two lit candles; a softly glowing decorated tree just inside the frame. Moment or Pose: no people; a sleeping ginger cat curled on a woolly blanket on the window seat. Light: warm candle and fairy-light glow inside against cool blue snowy dusk outside. Style: hand-painted gouache illustration, soft brush texture, muted reds, pine greens and cream, a thin cream border like a printed card. Text: leave a calm snowy area at the top of the card and write "Warm wishes this Christmas" there in simple hand-lettered serif, spelled exactly. Format: vertical 5:7 greeting card. Avoid: misspelled or extra text, brand names or logos, cartoon characters, clutter, distorted animal anatomy, watermarks.
