Holiday is very abstract and difficult to communicate. There is nothing about the home to suggest its in a holiday season.

I concur with riccard0 that is conveys spring or family.

To convey "Holiday," I would remove the red berries(?) from the tree. And maybe change the tree to a light blue and make the bird red.

Because you're in Florida, your concept of winter is a little different than mine, being in Boston. While you might think of birds arriving "home" in the winter, I think of them leaving. I mentioned making the bird red because cardinals are one of the few bird species that sticks around here in the winter(or at least is active in the winter).

I also think that if you send this around the Holidays, it would have more of a Holiday feel just because of the context. If I showed you a shade of blue in the summer, you might think of the sky; but in the winter, the same shade might remind you of snow.

Yes, you've definitely looks more wintery!

Wow, my grammer in my last post was horrible, huh? I think I meant to say "you've definitely made it look more..." but I got distracted in the middle of it. You got the idea though.

For what it's worth, I liked the composition in your first iteration better.

sorry - wrong thread

go with the original

it says christmas to me and the colours are great

if you're conveying holidays, its almost necessary to throw snow in there somewhere... thats the one element i find to be really missing. spring, though, works.
