It's time for Halloween cards. It not a celebration where I live, but it's fun nevertheless. I like the colors involved and the make-believe horror emanating from bats, pumpkins, ravens etc.
Today I was inspired to take out some colored papers and my Halloween stamps and dies. I Confess, I have just one stamp set and one die that can pass for Halloween, but we make do what we've got, right?
I had die cut several trees at a friend's place and today seemed a good opportunity to use some of them.
I started by selecting purple for the background. The moon was stamped on almost fluorescent green and the pumpkins in orange, of course. I die cut the bats from shiny black card stock.
The sentiment says: "Pay attention..." It goes on on the inside with: "When the darkness falls you are not alone." I hope this is sufficiently creepy for the recipient.
Entering this in these inspiring challenges:

Your forest is wonderfully creepy and scary, with bats, a glowing moon and jack o' lanterns adding to the spooky impact. Halloween fabulous - and thank you for sharing it with Just Us Girls.
