I like it! It looks like snowflakes to me! And snowflakes are Christmas or wintery anyway.

The White pinwheels takes your eye away from the wreath itself.I should have used the gold,they all you could see is the wreath.

It is pretty and reminds me of snowflakes as well. Try another now with stronger "wreath" colours & you'll have a lovely set just waiting to be enjoyed at Christmas.

EDITED: I think it's the darker colour gold "border" that stops it from looking like a wreath.
Have a look at this one
