December 20, 2011
Christmas is right around the corner, and creating Christmas-themed designs can be a lot of fun. Here we've compiled more than sixty fantastic Christmas design resources, including fonts, icons, vectors, and even Photoshop brushes. These can serve as a great jumping-off point for creating your own unique designs without having to start entirely from scratch. Use them as the start of an awesome Christmas-day blog theme, some last-minute Christmas cards, or just about anything else you can think of. (Be sure you check licensing restrictions for each resource.)
