I used the oval that I'd cut from the frame, stamped the same series of tree images on it. I found the black in a stash of negatives: I save the outsides of die cuts to use later for layering. It just happened to have the right size scallops for the plaid oval. I punched the shiny stuff from some old bulletin board border.
You can see some of the debris in front.
Honestly, I rarely trash stuff! Queen of re-purposing, here.

Nice subtle plaid for a lovely background to the tree.
Thanks for playing in the Dec 2015 VSN.
