Retro Kitty Countdown 18

Hello, everybody!  Today I'm sharing a holiday card as part of my Retro Kitty Countdown series.  I am making 25 of these countdown cards and plan to have them completed by December.  I shared #4 here and #8 here and for some strange reason I am not making them in numerical order.   I may not share all 25 but you'll definitely be seeing some of them!

This month Gecko Galz has started a monthly Christmas image challenge and they provided this cute retro image of a cat decorating a tree. Of course I could not resist!  I started with patterned paper (Adrienne Looman Gingerbread Village).  I adhered a pink snowflake-embossed cardstock panel on which I doodled stitching around the outer edge.  I adhered the freebie image along with a die-cut tree and a countdown card (Designs by Dani Merry Days Countdown Cards).  I embellished with some punched stars and a die-cut bow, along with some torn pieces left over from a die-cut frame gone wrong, all from red glitter cardstock.  Finally I added a die-cut black cat (Impression Obsession) and a self-made sentiment using Microsoft Word.  Now only 22 more Countdown Kitty cards to go!

I would also like to join the following 9 challenges, for a total of 10:
