On the next layer we have to apply again the mentioned set of brushes to represent the snowflakes of smaller sizes, having the white color too.

Create a new layer again on which we’ll apply the Brush Tool (B) of dw_flake set to represent the snowflakes on the lateral stripe of the Christmas toy decoration.



Make two copies of the last made layer and use the Free Transform option again to place the snowflakes’ copies on the lateral sides of the other toys.
