Designer’s Note
This artwork features the phrase “Time to Make the Cookies” surrounding a baking tray filled with chocolate chip cookies, accented by quilted oven mitts, decorative flourishes, and heart motifs. The design uses a combination of satin-stitched lettering, structured fill areas, clean outlines, and carefully sequenced color stops to maintain detail across multiple sizes. Soft pinks, warm cookie tones, cool blue accents, and rich brown lettering create a cheerful kitchen-inspired atmosphere.
