My aunty A often visits for Christmas. Since she is travelling quite a distance, I needed to do something small that wouldn't be a challenge to transport. She is a devoted Christian and I wanted to follow that direction. Having just seen a replica of the Sistine Chapel in December, I recalled the colour scheme that was often used: blue, pink, yellow, and white.

| Detail of The Last Judgement, Sistine Chapel, by Michelangelo |
In thinking about it, most Renaissance depictions of Christ and the Madonna use the same colour scheme.
 |
| The Annunciation by Fra Angelico |
 |
| The Aldobrandini Madonna by Raphael |
And so my colour scheme was set. I kept it simple and elegant.
