Every Secret Santa, many artists makes unique and wonderful custom wrappings. This challenge is to make it easier and less boring for people, who can't make their own, because lack of time or other reasons.

Create a Secret Santa gift wrapping template for future use, so all the artists have a library of ready-made wrappings. It needs to be a relatively simple design, that is easy to recolour, edit, and decorate. A simple box with a ribbon is prefferable, but if you have a more creative idea, go for it, however keep in mind that this wrapping needs to be versitile and universal, so it can be used by everyone, for every possible gift, that will be gifted to anyone.

You have to use a christmas 3 main colour scheme of dark green, red and gold as a base of your palette. You can choose your own colours and add couple of shades when needed, but you need at least one red, one green and one golden. You also need to add white outline (any "white" as a lightest colour will do), and you have to use transparency, since it needs to be a sprite.
 

Canvas Size - Max 100x100.

Colors - Max 12 because December (at least one green, red, gold + "white" outline  and transparency).

Transparency - Required.

Animation - Optional (don't make it too difficult to use by future secret santas).



The challenge thread will have all the challenge updates. The thread is also a great place to post your WIPs.
