In this image I've decorated the Christmas tree with gold and red decorations as well as dog bones.  For decorations I used beads.  Bones are made out felt, so they are nice and fluffy. There are also a couple of dog bones under the tree.

In the next post you will see the work on the final element, the rainbow, begin.
