Merry Creepmas ATC

It is almost here and I am not ready... gifts have to be wrapped, final details have to be arranged for our Christmas dinner and some cards are still sitting on my desk. 
Yikes, it is a lot, but I know that it will all be done before Christmas.
Well, I still found time to play in the December Smeared and Smudged ATC Swap. The theme is Creepmas Baubles/Ornaments.
I must admit that I didn't have a clue about what to do.
After lots of thinking I came up with this idea

The ATC itself is an ornament and the Skullcracker can be removed and used as an ornament.
Supplies:

• Canson Mixed Media paper (140 lb)
• Dark Holidaze  by Rick St Dennis and Jack by Terra Serrano available as rubber stamp sets from Smeared Ink.
• Ranger Distress Ink Pad
• Ranger Archival Ink - Jet Black
• Copics
• Sharpie marker
• Golden Fluid Acrylics Paint - Iridescent Bright Gold
• Sequins
• Scotch permanent glue pen

Some details

I would like to enter this creation in the following challenges

• Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge: Happy Creepy Holidays 
• The Corrosive Challenge #214: Anything Goes
• Crafting For All Seasons Challenge #92: Anything Christmas but a Card (ATC)
