Gift Wrapping

This will probably be the only Christmas present I give or wrap this year. (We aren't doing Christmas presents in our family this year. Instead we are baking together. I love it!)

However, I'm trying to get better at wrapping. I'm kind of awful at it. Here's this year's attempt. This was for our always super fun Christmas office dinner.

It turned out better than usual. The one change I'd make is wrap the yarn so that the knot is at the bottom.

This still isn't exactly the feel I had in my brain but I decided to get it up anyway.

Here are the changes I'd like to make:

The colors aren't quite right. She disappears into the background.

Maybe the problem is that I'm using too similar of values for the whole thing.

Second problem is scale. Something just feels off about it at this point. Like she needs to be smaller but clearer. Is that possible?
