Re: I'm at a loss for our holiday card this year...

How about your cute dog or some pics of the bridge at sunset or wait a bit longer, see if it snows and if you can get some great local pics with snow? We were kinda lucky last year because our house got covered in snow before I had to make the cards...hth...

I think the writing is not balanced. Maybe keep HOLIDAYS on a separate line from the blue wording, like New Years is.

I love this card BUT I would darken the blue writing. You could also try doing a blocky font to compare to the roundness of the images-see how it looks

What about a darker blue for the words?

The spacing of the words looks odd to me. My eye goes first to the red words, and the blue words kind of blend into the background.
Maybe put more spaces between the lines, or make the font smaller, or make the colors of the words not so drastically different?

Re: Okay, please critique. Gently!

I think there is just too much going on with all the shapes & colors...how about something more like this...with the text left justified?

This is a great start!!
I would make the words all the same color and mix the font - keep the script font for the words you have in blue and block style for the letters. How would it look without gold snowflakes and using a lighter/brighter green?

I like the first one better. If you darken the blue text and take away some of the ornaments on the top right, it would look better. I just feel like the ornaments are taking over the card. They should be more so on the bottom right.

I was going to say something similar but ornaments on the top left, wording in the middle to bottom right.

Also I'd probably pick a different font. Maybe some block text with a script.
