This is a fun project to build a raindrop light with am ATTiny85 and its restricted ports.
But it turned out to work pretty good.
I have ordered a PCB to hang on the X-Mas tree :)

I always loved these X-Mas lights which look like a raindrop.

I just wondered, how they are working. First I thought of using a decade counter. Long time ago I build a night rider light with such a component. This time I wanted to use the ATTiny85, inspired by HAZE TECH's led chaser.

BTW: this is a different but neat way to approach the challenge:

First, I wanted to buy 2 or 3 Led grow lights, but they were too expensive or not what I needed. So I decided to build my own Led light
