Description

This Holiday Mouse reflects two key aspects of the Christian nativity story: the star and the cross. As you know, the baby Jesus was born in Bethlehem and a star appeared over the location of the birth. The star is a guide for those intended to find the baby, and thus salvation. That is the reason that the mouse points to the star, and the explanation for the cross-shape reflection in its eyes. The sketch is a combination of sepia watercolor and ink and is intended to serve as a perfect Christmas card. NOTE: There is a thin brown line around the white space to enhance the image. If you are creating a greeting card, I recommend that you reduce the image size by about 80% and see if you like the effect that the thin line creates.
