Surround with Joy

I'm on a roll with the holiday cards this week.

At first glance at this sketch challenge from Create with Connie & Mary (#CCMC361) I wasn't thinking holiday.

I was actually thinking of coming up with a sympathy card.

That card unfortunately never came to fruition.

Do you see the Gold Metallic Thread on my tree?


Here is a closer view. 

The thread was just thin enough to wrap around the tree to coordinate with the lines within the tree image.
