Ember Snowflake in Red and Gold

A large red snowflake with six feathered arms sits centered on a plain white background. A small oval medallion forms its center, and each arm ends in a tiny rounded tip. The red fill is patterned with swirling bands of crimson, orange and gold that give it a glowing, stained-glass look. The snowflake is perfectly symmetrical and stretched slightly wider than tall.

A collector wants this because it is a bold, unmistakable snowflake in deep crimson rather than the usual icy blue or white. Inside the silhouette is a swirling marbled fill of red, orange and amber gold that glows like stained glass. It is graphic and instantly readable from across a room, and up close it rewards a longer look at the fine curved bands. The warm, festive color makes winter feel celebratory rather than cold.
