I think it's good and will work perfectly for a Christmas card.
Good job.

if I post the pic by itself can someone help untilt it? When I try to straighten it, it crops it and makes the photo bigger, which cuts everything out...I took a ton of shots, this was the best one, and unfortunately it was shot on the angle(i usually LOVE the angle for shots) but if I want this to be a card it will not work so well...any help is appreciated....i will post the pic..

I like it tilted a bit, but it's a little too tilted... Still is a cute pic!

Can you do a re-shoot and not have it tilted? I like the idea of the shoot, maybe you can include a book (twas the night b4 Christmas) in addition to your props. Only the santa cup (IMO) screams Christmas. And sadly, the tilt is distracting...

You could always incorporate it into the card itself and let the graphics hide the crop. Tilt the photo so it's straight and place it into the card with designs around it. I vote you reshoot though.

It's a cute picture and the theme works. If you do reshoot are you able to use another color backdrop?

I think its perfect for a christmas card. the tilt is distracting but the photo is adorable. If it were me I would incorporate the colors in her pj's in the background for the card.
