January
The chill that leaves Jack Frost on window panes and the dark blue winter cold nipping at your nose.

The color of love and the month of lovers. Even the daintiest heart leaves quite the impression.

Gray month, holding fast to the doldrums of winter. The winds of March are persistent, pressing deep.

Keeping time with the growing dark and feeling slumber creeping, the trees put forth a fiery blaze, entangled within the month’s magic.

Nothing shines quite like the holidays and this holographic foil reminds us of round baubles reflecting the lights on the tree, while snowflakes quietly fall all around.
