Gingerbread House With Candy Cane Posts and Christmas Tree

A cozy gingerbread house sits in a wavy frame with a night sky behind it, filled with three stars. Thick icing sits along the roof edges and the roof is covered in swirls and small dots. A puffy cloud of smoke rises from the chimney. The front has an arched window, a row of round candies around it, a striped candy bar under the window, and two round candy windows beside a plain door. Candy cane posts hold up the porch roof. A stepping stone path leads to the door, and scalloped icing fences sit on both sides. At the left is a Christmas tree with a star on top, looping garlands, and dots for ornaments. Try coloring the sky in dark blue and leaving the stars bright, then pick two colors for the candy cane stripes and repeat them on every post. This is also a nice page for talking about patterns, since the stripes, dots, and swirls repeat all over the picture.
