Just look at her!  This little witch is just too cute.  Sue Eldred is always thinking outside the box – no one said a silhouette had to be monochrome.  Witch Silhouette – 1176E and Happy Trick or Treating – 1173D. 

Who needs candy when there’s Flower Soft out there?  Well – I do.   But I imagine there are some of you out there who would grab the flower soft out of the bowl and put it in her trick or treat bag – just like Amy Cokley did on this adorable, creative card.  She used 1177E-Trick or Treat Bag Large.

When is the last time you saw a cowboy trick or treating at your door?  Now it all seems to be Batman and Snow White!  Back in my day….oh nevermind.  But this group of trick or treaters should make you want to break out your bowl of Wrigley’s gum!  This was made by Holly Craft using 1172G – Costume Kids, 1173D – Happy Trick or Treating, 1178B – Trick or Treat Bag Small (it’s on the $1 sale right now!) or the cling set 1172QCL.  

I love the elegance of the paper Kathie used in the background of this card against the fun, funky pumpkins!   This card, by Kathie Bailey, was made using the Tall Pumpkins – 1174H, Happy Boo Day – 1175D, or the cling set 1174QCL.  Kathie’s beautiful blog is http://justaninkling.blogspot.com/

One of my artists, Judy, suggested doing some halloween images in silhouette.  I wasn’t sure how it would turn out so I asked her to do just one.  Watch for more in the future!  A little pop quiz – how many of you can turn away from this screen and spell “silhouette” correctly?  This card was made by Amy Cokley using these stamps:  Witch Sihouette 1176E and Happy Boo Day 1175D.  Check out Amy’s blog at http://soamused.blogspot.com/
