Halloween Pumpkin Card No 2

Created this Halloween Pumpkin Card using
3 buttons as key items and decided to think
outside the box or should I say inside the
pumpkin as in behind the pumpkin image.
2 of the buttons are used as eyes for the
pumpkin. They are old buttons and had a
neat striping color to them for the eyes.


















Entering this into the following challenges:

1. Creative Inspirations Paint Halloween ends 10/29

CI Paints Inspired By: Halloween


2. Getting Cricky unlimited entries 1st entry ends 11/5
allowed 1 other color - and mine is purple

Getting Cricky Simply Sunday Challenge!

This week it's a color challenge! Halloween is almost here...so our challenge is to use the colors orange and black! You are allowed to use one other color, so if you want to add a white ghost or green Frankenstein, or even yellow leaves...it doesn't have to be a Halloween project - as long as you use the colors orange, black and only one other color!
