Create a winter landscape on the white base plate using various white bricks.
In the middle of the landscape, create a pole of bricks in this order from bottom to top: 1 red 1×1 brick, 1 white 1×1 round brick, 1 red 1×1 brick with knob, 1 white 1×1 brick with knob, 1 red 1×1 brick, 1 white 1×1 round brick, 1 gold 1×1 round plate, and 1 red 1×1 round ball.
On the front of the pole, attach the sign over the white 1×1 brick with a knob and the wreath over the red 1×1 with the knob. Press the red bow/butterfly over the wreath.
