Maybe you could applique a representation of the building where you pay the bill behind him in the scene? Or maybe take a photo of the place, and use the photo transfer sheets to get that building in your quilt.

Then I would quilt it really wintery -- with low mares tail clouds, long swoopy tendrils of blowing wind, a few snowflakes flying, and maybe some tracks in the snow.

Please let us see what you end up doing.

Remember the Andy Williams' song? I am humming it now.

Red and yellow
and Pink and Green
Purple and orange and blue

I can sing a rainbow
Sing a rainbow
Sing a rainbow too

Listen with your eyes
Listen with your ears
And sing everything you see

I can sing a rainbow
Sing a rainbow
Sing along with me.
I love the idea of the pastel rainbow with pale pale blue and white snowflakes, some pine trees, maybe a little rabbit under a tree- no pots of gold or snowmen, just a beautiful quilt/wallhanging with the total meaning of snowbow. Thank you for the song - I can sing a rainbow, too! Edie
