Candy Cane Santa Hat Chickadee

A charming chickadee wearing a miniature red Santa hat sits perched atop a red-and-white striped candy cane against a soft pink background dotted with falling snowflakes and sparkle stars. The bird is rendered with moderate realism — black cap, white cheeks, and dark wings — while the overall composition leans whimsical and festive. The candy cane is bold and graphic, contrasting nicely with the delicate snowy background. Color palette is dominated by soft pink, bright red, and white. The bird's feather detail and the candy cane's spiral striping make this moderately challenging for beginners.
