Miss
Winter Carnival is a companion piece to two earlier designs of whimsical
snowpeople called Mr. and Mrs. Snojangles. The preceding figures are
the same size, and the borders used are interchangeable. The new figure
is the same width but is slightly taller, so the surrounding border
forms a rectangle instead of a square. If arranged as a triptych,
the larger design would make an attractive centerpiece, and the blues
suggested could easily be changed to a Christmas green to match the
holiday theme.
