Christmas in NZ

This is a bit of a random card.  I'm lacking a bit in sleep and it tends to make me think a bit off beat!  I live in NZ and here is it summer at Christmas time, so we tend to have summer fruits as part of our Christmas meal.  Once I started on that train of thought, I looked at this image and thought.....not a creature was stirring not even a mouse.   I told you it was random!  I was going to do a different card for the CHNC challenge but my random thoughts were screaming at me to take notice!

This card is for the following challenges:
Doodle Pantry - Anything Goes

The backing paper for this card comes from a christmas paper pack called Merry Berry (goes with the berry theme in the image!).  The image is from Doodle Pantry.  The matting is from a lavender metallic paper and the lavender lace is from my stash.
