A holiday pie with a scalloped golden crust sits on a white plate, ringed by snow dusted pinecones, cinnamon sticks, a blue glass candle jar and a small postcard with envelopes. The crust edge, the frosted berries and the pinecone scales are drawn as dense dark and light shapes that carry the modules, while the candle jar and the postcard frame take the place of the finder squares. Warm browns against the white ground and cool blue shadows keep the pattern readable. A sprig of pine needles reaches over the candle for a soft, wintry finish.
