I had an all dogs design - I've gotten the Chewzies to change into their hush puppies matching outfits (for the dog logos), took pictures of them with their dog plushies and even incorporated the popular Snapchat dog filters into this year's red packets! :)
The background was made of many colourful dogs. Look closely and you'll see that they are tangrams - puzzles put together to form different shape and sizes of dogs!
The Chinese words 狗年旺旺 meant "Prosperity in the Year of the Dog". I love the sound of the four Chinese words when put together... there is a wordplay for 旺 sounds like the bark of a dog. :)
Not forgetting the back of the red packet, I included the paw prints... May you have a Pawsperous Chinese New Year! :D
P.S.
Again, this year the ink ran out and we had to top up the ink! The printouts went orangey (lower quality for testing) ...to... perfect velvety red ...to... too dark ...to... one third red, one third yellow, one third blue ...to... all blue!
[Updated on 14 Feb 2018: This year DC also bought different types of paper to experiment... we test printed using the grossy n semi-grossy papers. The effect were different, the new papers were lighter and oh that shine on the grossy one! Maybe we could more of the grossy ones for next year’s red packets!
DC was a great help this year, not only he went places to replace the ink, searched for papers, he also helped to point out a mistake on the red packets, something that I overlooked! The word 旺 was written wrongly; there was a missing stroke! Being a perfectionist, he wouldn't allow me to fill in the missing stroke with any marker, golden pen or even stickers. I could do a good job designing something over easily but he insisted that I redo the wordings... which I obliged. :)]
