Scandinavian Holiday Elegance

Photorealistic Scandinavian-style Christmas and New Year greeting card, horizontal composition. Minimalist Nordic aesthetic with natural materials and soft neutral tones. Natural fir branches with fine, realistic needle texture frame the image subtly from the left and right edges and slightly from the corners, leaving the composition airy and uncluttered. Decorations are minimal and elegant: matte glass ornaments in muted tones (soft beige, warm white, light grey), thin warm white fairy lights. Nordic holiday spices placed naturally and sparingly: cinnamon sticks, star anise, dried orange slices, cloves — arranged with restraint along the edges and bottom, styled like high-end Scandinavian food photography, with visible natural textures. Bottom area features a light dusting of fresh snow on a wooden or linen surface (light oak / neutral textile), enhancing the cozy Nordic atmosphere. Background is bright and soft with natural daylight feel, subtle warm bokeh, very light snowfall. The center of the image is completely empty and clean, with no objects and no text — a calm, light, neutral space intentionally reserved for greeting text. Lighting: soft natural daylight, diffused, realistic shadows. Color palette: off-white, beige, soft green, muted gold, warm grey. Style: Scandinavian minimalism, Nordic winter, ultra-realistic, premium holiday card, shallow depth of field, 8k quality. No people, no animals, no text, no clutter. Image orientation: horizontal (landscape)
