Tree-mendous

This was intended to be a gift bag.  Well it is still a gift bag, but I like it so much that I'm wondering if I might just keep it as a decoration and pop it under my tree!

I've not used this image before and think he's adorable. (I love James the bear!). He's water-coloured in DI reinkers and layered onto gold mirri card and a doily to make him stand out.

Here's a close up of the main bag, decorated with lots of festive whites, reds and greens.

I tied a double bow in the gorgeous red satin ribbon, added a green button with some red button twine, and also popped a paw charm underneath (hopefully you can just see it peeking out from under the bow).

And here's an even bigger close-up of handsome James the bear, and all the lovely sparkle:
