..HALLOWEEN! Today, for my 2 different cards (the first one shows the inside as well) I decided to go with the happy part of Halloween. Halloween has always been a tad frightening to me, both as a child and even when going up to the doors, as an adult, with my children. I feared the parents who dressed up in the real life scarrrrrry costumes. Too real for my sensitivities!!! Secretly, I was thankful that it rained most Halloween nights, when I was young. That way my mom volunteered to drive me around and often she walked up to the door for me. What a mom, gotta love that! So...when I saw this rather happy Frankenstein at Michael's, I couldn't resist him. Ok, the bats on the card are still creepy (I remember my dad using a broom to shoo them out of our cottage while we stayed behind doors peering out - ewwwww- creepy!) but all in all, I attempted to create a rather fun looking card. Today's card is therefore dedicated to the HAPPY in Happy Halloween! SQUISHY HUGS.
