Too Cute to Spook Halloween Tent Card

Halloween has arrived over at Stitchy Bear Stamps and they're having a huge sale to celebrate. There's loads of new image releases from their designers and a few of their associate blogs are running challenges. Over on the Stampin' with the Dragon Challenge Blog there is an extra challenge - "Extra - Spooky - Happenings" Why not pop over and have a look at what the rest of the DT have been upto and join in with the challenge?

I was thrilled to be able to make a Halloween card using this image, as I love Halloween! I think it's possibly my favourite time of year. It's an occasion that you choose to either celebrate or ignore. However, here in the UK we don't tend to send out many Halloween cards, so the few that I do make and send, I like to be a little bit different.

I made this tent card for my friend who is also into Halloween, I hope she likes it!

    Oh it's gooooorgeous! How can she NOT like it :P

    I'm the same - I just love Halloween and would have Halloween decor up all year round if my OH was of the same opinion. He's not ;) and hates it. Total opposites eh.

    We all know Casper is a good ghost after all, aren't we?!

    And I know how you feel - we here even don't have such holiday as Halloween, but still - there are so many good stuff for making such cards!

    Love the tree also...do you actually hang Casper there LOL.

    Thanks for sharing with us at DDSB.
