Can I use giant butterflies for Christmas decor? Anyone tried this?

I have been doing some Christmas decor browsing lately mostly on Etsy, Michaels, Wayfare, Alibaba and other stores and I came across these elegant ornamental butterfly decorations. Some were glittery and bold, others had a soft, frosted look, and a few had metallic finishes that surprisingly fit classic Christmas colors. Now I’m wondering if giant butterfly decorations could actually work for Christmas décor, especially on a tree. Butterflies aren’t exactly traditional for the holidays, but the ones I found look genuinely magical. I can imagine white, gold, or iridescent butterflies mixed in with ornaments and lights, or even using a large butterfly as a tree topper instead of a star or angel. Has anyone here ever tried decorating with butterflies for Christmas? Did you put them on the tree or around the house? I’d love to know if the final look turned out elegant or if it felt out of place once everything was set up. Any tips, color ideas, or styling suggestions would be super helpful. I really want something unique but still festive, and butterflies might be perfect. I just want to be sure it all comes together the way I’m imagining
