Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
My mind is like a steel sieve these days. I'd mentioned that I'd post the actual Xara file of our 2107 Christmas card, and then haven't so far.
It's attached. I think I used two different trendy artifacts: the extreme drop-shadow blur (probably better to do as a blend than the Drop Shadow Tool), and an overall flat look plus a diorama effect.
This takes time, and that's about it—if you're reading this, you're talented enough already!—
Happy New Year, it's still new, keep the receipt in case you need an exchange later,
Gary
P.S. I live in a backward country that uses inches as a unit of measurement. The card and the template around it are 7" × 5". Adjust accordingly.
Thanks for the file Gary, much appreciated.

Thanks Gare. I think I'd like to try it even though I can't seem to do much graphics wise these days, it's all I can do to make a scribble line and hopefully peruse the posts.
