When I read that today is Crossword Puzzle Day, I knew I had to do something with that lovely comic cover for Buffy Season 9 #7 by Phil Noto:

Love it! That was such a great cover, even if it was just a tease and didn't amount to anything for a while. Very clever!

[double_dutchess]

Thanks! I've always loved that cover too, so I enjoyed using it.

This is just too cute! Love the addition of the hats and the tree.

[double_dutchess]

Thank you. It's such a cosy scene, perfect to add some Christmas touches.

Ooh, nice! Very peaceful. ^^ I like the new colors of their clothing.

[double_dutchess]

Peaceful indeed, thanks! I'm happy you like the new colours. I wanted them to look both more Christmassy, and a little bit more like themselves (at least in Spike's case).

Love it! It's definitely less creepy than the original. Your additions are great and so seasonal! I'm now in a holiday mood. If only there were a larger version, because I know I'm not catching ALL the details.

[double_dutchess]

Thank you! Oh, don't you like the original? I've always loved, though I can see why you might find it creepy -- it definitely has the Stepford vibe to it. But that's also what made it easy to turn it into a domestic Christmas scene. I don't think there are any details you are missing, really, but I plan to post a slightly bigger version on Buffyforums soon.
