Meredith Jones, eight, won a national competition to create a Christmas card for the charity Home-Start.
Her work is one of eight designs commissioned and thousands of cards are set to be sold at outlets across the UK.
Meredith, a pupil at St Joseph's Primary School, Dovercourt, got involved in the competition a few months ago as her mum, Debbie, is a volunteer at Home-Start Harwich.
Her dad, Ian, said: "She's done very well. All her family is proud of her."
As a reward for her efforts, Meredith, of Seafield Road, Dovercourt, won painting equipment and an art token.
Her work will raise thousands of pounds nationwide for Home-Start, which offers support and friendship to families with young children.
The cards, which cost £2 per pack of ten, are available from Home-Start Harwich centre at St Nicholas Hall, Stour Road.
