As I said in my previous post, I was commissioned to make Halloween birthday cards for twins born on 31 October - now grown up. This is the 8 x 8 card I made for the granddaughter, using papers and greeting topper from The Paper Boutique Wickedly Wonderful collection. The main topper was on a hairband bought from Primark + shiny copper flowers with pearls.
I don't 'do' halloween, but I've made the effort with the commissioned cards once again this year.
As I said in the previous post, I saw some pumpkin decorations recently and thought they would be perfect to put inside the halloween cards - there were two in the pack - they were meant to be put together to make a hanging decoration, but they were ideal for what I wanted, stuck inside so that the pumpkin opened up with the card:
