Create a finished 3:4 portrait Christmas card illustration with generous print-safe margins. In the upper two-thirds, paint a charming watercolor scene: a small, long-bodied dachshund named Pretzel sits contentedly in fresh snow, wearing a snug classic red knit sweater. Above and behind the dog hangs a simple evergreen door wreath with a few restrained red berries and a soft gold ribbon, on a warmly painted winter cottage door. Add delicate falling snow and a few snowy marks at the dog's paws; keep the scene intimate, quiet, and uncluttered. The dachshund is the unmistakable focal point, with expressive natural eyes, long ears, and a gently curious pose. Use transparent watercolor washes, soft pigment blooms, fine hand-drawn ink contours, and lightly textured warm ivory paper; avoid photorealism and avoid extra Christmas motifs. In the lower third, set three exact lines of text, centered and clearly legible at printed-card size. First and largest: “Merry Christmas from Pretzel”. Beneath it, smaller: “The Hendersons”. Last, smallest but still comfortably readable: “2026”. Preserve the exact wording, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation; render no other text. Use graceful, custom hand-lettered serif forms: the greeting in an elegant, warmly human display serif with gentle stroke contrast and softly tapered terminals; the sender line and year in a matching refined small serif with open spacing. Lettering is deep evergreen with restrained muted-gold accents, crisp against the ivory paper. Keep all text unobstructed and separated from the illustration. Balance the wreath over the dog, let the illustrated scene breathe, and maintain a calm, affectionate mailed-card feel.
