At the top of the Illustration Style image, Happy Christmas Little Juju

Hand-drawn, sincere illustration with fine linework and textured brush strokes, warm expressive color palette, portrait orientation, full-bleed. A golden-hour African savanna scene around a calm waterhole. Left foreground: a classic open-top safari jeep at a 3/4 angle. Two people sit side-by-side in the driver’s seat area, warmly smiling, with subtle festive touches (a soft deep-red scarf, a knitted beanie). Between them, a small border terrier (wiry grizzle coat, alert ears) sits proudly, wearing a tiny red scarf. The jeep has a small wreath on the grille and a gentle string of warm fairy lights along the roof rack—tasteful and understated.

Arrange the wildlife naturally in a balanced arc around the waterhole for depth and harmony:

- Male lion reclining on a low rock near the jeep, mane catching warm highlights.

- Elephant and baby on mid-left, the calf nuzzling its mother’s leg.

- Hippo half-submerged in the waterhole, serene, with rippling reflections.

- Crocodile just visible in the water, eyes and snout breaking the surface.

- Rhino on mid-right, steady and calm.

- A pair of zebra beyond the waterhole, adding graphic stripes to the middle distance.

- Giraffe necks and heads framing the upper sky on the right, graceful and gentle.

- Leopard draped over a low branch of a separate tree/rock outcrop on the right, relaxed and watchful.

- Cheetah standing on a small termite mound, sleek and attentive.

- Baboon up in an acacia tree on the left, perched quietly; a tiny golden star ornament hangs from a nearby twig for a subtle festive nod.

- African wild dog trotting near the foreground, mottled coat catching the warm light.

Atmosphere: soft, heartfelt, and peaceful. Sky in tender peach, dusty rose, and deepening blue; delicate paper grain visible; watercolor washes with gouache highlights; fine hatching for texture. Subtle firefly-like sparkles in the air hint at twinkle lights, not snow. Use naturalistic proportions and gentle expressions—no caricature. Maintain clear spacing so each animal is identifiable and the composition feels serene and balanced.

Typography: the top line “Happy Christmas Little Juju” in warm, hand-lettered script with a soft gold-ink effect, gently arcing across the sky. Add one small, understated caption at the bottom in neat hand-lettering: Sleigh bells on the savanna.

No additional text. No heavy winter motifs; keep the festive elements subtle and sincere.
