A cheerful, hand-drawn illustration of a classic London double-decker bus overflowing with festive presents and a crowd of friendly animal passengers. The bus sits against a simple sketched row of townhouses, while the greeting "Happy Christmas, Niece" is set above in a playful, handwritten type. The composition blends a whimsical sense of place with charming character detail - from a dachshund peeking out of a top window to a rabbit in a Santa hat on the rear steps.
This design is warm and lighthearted, ideal for sending seasonal wishes to a special niece. The vibrant illustration captures the joy of the season with a sense of story and personality: each animal feels like a tiny character, adding to the overall narrative of a festive London outing. It's both playful and affectionate, making it suitable for family members of all ages.
Rendered in a joyful, illustrative style, the artwork balances lively colour with delicate linework to create a timeless, memorable scene. The London setting and the festival of gift-giving combine to make a distinctly seasonal image that feels personal and heartfelt, perfect for sharing warm Christmas wishes.

Hello & thanks for viewing my work! I live in the beautiful Bayside of Melbourne, Australia, near the sea with my husband and daughter and rescue dog, Wilbur, and rescue cat, Marbles. After gaining a First Class B.A (Hons) and an M.A in Illustration in the U.K, I’ve worked for galleries such as the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco, and the V&A Museum in London.
Using mixed media including pen and ink watercolour and cut paper, I’ve created several best-selling children's books published internationally as illustrator and writer, Emma Damon. I'm delighted to be designing some greetings cards for Cardly from the world of children’s book images under the name, Snowy White Horses. My website is: www.emmadamon.com
