No new or even rare elements are to be found in this inventory, so this will be quick! And that is good news if you want to build one from your own collection of parts. 

At the base of the frame we find a very cute scene with micro builds.

The frame is topped with a holly and bells.  

The completed frame is wedged between other parts to stand vertically. The black hinge plates secure the photo in place.

The frame can easily be switched from landscape to portrait orientation. Note that the holly-and-bells decoration is mounted on a turntable, so it realigns when the frame is rotated.

Merry Christmas!
