The Red Theme gives you a warm feeling, and the Blue or Green theme gives you cool feeling, of course both give you the festival atmosphere. Red theme with Green Base This tree is decorated with red bulbs and red butterflies (or flowers?), shining with yellow lights, and spotted with snowflakes which is not pure white, so they may match the other colours.
