Chunky Merry Christmas Letters Framed by Holly and Snowflakes

Big, chunky bubble letters spell out MERRY CHRISTMAS, with MERRY slanting across the top inside a wavy outline and CHRISTMAS filling the bottom half. Each letter has its own pattern: small circle clusters on the M, E, R, R and Y, wavy lines and dotted columns on the H, R, I and T, and diagonal stripes on the I and the final S. A little hill at the upper left holds a small star-topped tree and two more pine trees. A sprig of holly with pointed leaves and three berries sits between the words, and pinwheel-style snowflakes are scattered around the page. Kids can color each letter in a different pattern of reds and greens, or use the stripes and dots to practice staying inside small spaces. It also works well as a handmade card front. Just print it on cardstock and fold it in half.
