research...

Some more inspiration for me to look at to get my creative juices flowing!!

I am leaning towards a pattern and type design for the bags, however I am still looking around to see if anything else may work. Such as this design below...

I could insert the message and other christmas shapes/objects into a design like this. However, would the message be lost in the illustration?

I included this image as I am interested in the angled stripes that make up the leaves on the tree. Perhaps this pattern could be used to create a christmas tree/snowflakes/ball balls?

Simple designs above, that work well and fit with the type selection. I do not want to make my designs overally complicated.
