Above all the birds gifted in the song "12 Days of Christmas," the Cardinal is most associated with the winter and the holiday season. It's bright red plumage symbolizes hope and joy during the dark, grey winter months.
In this seasonal, Retro 51 Tornado limited edition rollerball pen, the cardi's have come to party! Illustrated around the tapered barrel of the Retro 51 Tornado pen, a flock of cardinals are chillin' on the icy winds of a snowy winter's day. Retro 51 screen printed the hand-drawn design made by Sandy H., accenting the snowy white areas with a glistening effect and trimming the pen with a frosty, satin silver metal accents.
