Holiday Cactus

A bit of an unusual image for Christmas time!  But having Christmas in summer time, this image appeals to me - although I can't say we have that many cactus around.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

I have used a paper from a paper pad and then doodled Merry Christmas all over it.  The image is from Doodle Pantry, coloured with copic markers YG17, YG11, G82, R29, Y15, and R02 and then Glossy Accents added over the baubles.  I doodled a spiral in each of the corners of the die-cut to reduce the amount of white space.  The die is a Spellbinders Lattice rectangle die.  I also added some red pearls from Sullivans.
