What you will get

A storybook night scene of one log cabin in a snowy forest, with warm glowing windows, smoke from the chimney, falling snow, a starry blue twilight, a lantern on the porch and footprints leading to the door.

Common mistake

The footprints go the wrong way, or there are none.

Fix: Say “one line of footprints from the lower left to the door, ending at the door”. Place the path precisely.

Also watch for

A second cabin or two moons appear. Add “exactly one cabin, one moon, no other buildings”. Repeated objects are common in busy scenes.
The style drifts toward a photo. Say “flat painterly shapes with a soft brush texture, no photo realism, like a children’s book page”.

Try a variation: monsoon cabin

Replace the snow with “monsoon rain on a hill cabin among ferns and banana leaves, warm windows and puddles that reflect the light”. The same layout gives a rainy-season picture.

Still not right? Add this and run it again

Keep one cabin only, draw one line of footprints ending at the door and make the picture painterly, like a children’s book, without photo realism.
