Sometimes when I look at a set, I see something totally different than how it was intended. I guess my creative mind takes over... This set got turned upside down while sitting on my desk and the little trees looked like ornaments or Christmas tree lights. So that is what I did. I colored the trees and cut them out. I cut a tree out of green dp I added the little "trees" to my Christmas tree.
