Trick or Treat!!

I love the colors of Halloween — Black, Grey and Orange (or better yet Pumpkin Pie).  Today’s card covers all that with a little cute and a little scary.
The main focus is the fabulous Halloween Night designer paper.
Then I pulled the Spooky Fun stamp set and a bit of Halloween Night Baker’s Twine and a couple of the fun Halloween Night Enamel Dots and viola — your card is finished.

Mummy Halloween

Your Halloween cards can be fun and happy
or creepy and scary.
Today’s card has some creepy to it but the Pumpkin Pie colors
bring it back into a happier feel.
I used the Cookie Cutter Halloween stamp set,
Ghoulish Grunge stamp set and Timeless Textures stamp set
to give all the different dimensions to this card.
