I just had to play along with the TLC challenge this week, working "out of the box". C'mon and play along! Recently I spent some time in Albuquerque, NM, and had the pleasure of going up to the crest of one of the mountains alongside the city. Snow had already fallen a few days prior, and the view was wonderful. While I didn't see any Saguaro cactus such as this, the image definitely brings the flavor of my visit to mind ... and makes me smile!

The cactus was great with this technique! Your card makes me think of the Charlie Brown All I want for Christmas is a Dog. I am sure Spike decorates his cactus with lights at some stage.
