A bold vintage cartoon illustration featuring Santa Claus with his white-gloved finger pressed against his lips in a 'shh' gesture, giving a conspiratorial wink. Santa has rosy cheeks, flowing white beard, and traditional red hat with holly decoration. His other gloved hand is raised in a gentle 'quiet down' motion. The text 'DON'T TELL' appears in large red block letters at the top and 'THE ELVES' in matching red letters at the bottom, using a chunky retro slab serif font. The design uses the same vintage cartoon mascot style with bold black outlines, subtle halftone dot shading for dimension, and classic red, white, and flesh-tone color palette. Small decorative stars twinkle around the composition. The character maintains that clean mid-century animation appeal with defined gloved hands showing clear finger detail, expressive cartoon eyes, and that classic vintage mascot quality with proper body language and charm. The design is print-ready, fully isolated on a white background with no shadows or textures, fully contained within canvas boundaries with no cut-off elements and proper margins around all elements, and intended for use in t-shirt printing. | PODspy AI Design
