Major Case File No. 219 - Deadline: December 31

Welcome to December and to a brand-new Case File! The beginning of the month is always extra exciting at CSI, as we have new sponsors, new guest designers, and a new theme to tie together our Case Files. With the beginning of the month, we present our Major Case File, which stays open the entire month. Our Major Case File has a fantastic Composite Sketch created just for CSI by The Nifty Pixel! With this Case File, we've got a classic Christmas palette, just in time for the holiday season.

So, are you ready for this week's challenge? Grab your forensics kits, CSI members, and get ready for some serious sleuthing as we open Major Case File No. 219.


CASE FILE:


The Christmas season is in full swing. The halls are decked and presents are starting to gather under the Christmas trees. We're celebrating Christmas with our Case Files this month. Case File No. 219 celebrates the joy of gift giving. Our retro Scene was spotted on Pinterest.
