Ice Palace and King Winter's Cave Fit well together

I just got a new tablet. It doesn't zoom out on the game as well as the old one with the dodgy cracked screen did - but I'm seeing details on the zoom-in that I'd never seen so clearly:

I don't have a proper christmas zone yet but I'm doing experiments with the ice walls, maybe I'll move the skilift so that the upper part will coincide with the upper ground of the 3d effect. Also are there better benches to make stairs?

I like it.

Squidport benches work well as stairs. I think it looks best to place them exactly in the position of the cobblestone wall / hedge / ice wall they are replacing. So here, it would be 3 rows of benches.

This is my first time stitching and sharing photos.... But I was really happy the ice palace finally made it and really enjoyed setting this up. Not at all Simpson's like but think it might be one of the funnest things I've put together so far. Think adding a bridge around it would be too much?

I feel like it's a little empty inside the walls. I like simpler and less crowded designs but still think it's missing something. Tried fancy bells but couldn't get them to fit right. Any tips would be appreciated.

I'm loving everyone's designs! I'm probably going to start playing with the 3d using the ice walls, but for now here's what I have:

Like the idea of rows of walls. Might use that idea to fill in some space in mine :). I added a squidport tree in between the fountains and statue, but am thinking rows of walls might be interesting once it melts.

I wonder how all the ice stuff will look when they (unfortunately) remove the snow in two weeks. I love the snow :mrgreen:

thanks glad ypu liked it and i may take a screen of it after snow melts.

heres my alternate design it looks like an optical illusion, look at it one way and its 3d with stairs going up, look at it anothr way and it becomes flat.
