Thanksgiving

Description

A magnificent turkey displays its full fan of plumage across this striking Thanksgiving greeting card. Rich browns and earth tones render the elaborate tail feathers with characteristic detail, while the bird's vibrant blue head and crimson wattle provide bold color contrast against the soft chartreuse/yellow-green background. A decorative border frames the composition, with golden autumn foliage adorning the top corners to capture the harvest season spirit perfectly.

Subjects

turkey, autumn leaves, harvest, fauna

Printing Notes
