Halloween Snowman

When I lived in Colorado, there was the occasional Halloween that would roll around after a good snow.  There would still be leaves hanging on the trees!  One of my favorite things to do was to incorporate a snowman into the Halloween decor.  For some reason, that always amused me!  My card today, using Stampendous Smiling Snowman and Halloween Hats, reminds me of those early, Fall snows ahead of Halloween.

Here's what I used to create this create?

Trick or Treat?

Trick or Treat!  It's Day 20 of the 31 Days of Halloween and my card today features Haunted Hill Rubber Stamp from Stampendous.  Given the opportunity, I would so love to live in this house!  The spooky vibe just thrills my heart to the core.  Years ago when I was just a kid, this is the kind of house I would be scared to Trick or Treat at but I would do it anyway just to prove I'm not a chicken!  LOL!  I love Halloween and all of the fun and scariness that comes with it! And, yes, in case you think you're seeing double, my card was used for part of the banner design, which is always an honor.
