Same But Different: Orange Skeleton Tags

I made these skeleton tags last Halloween, but I never used them.

I tucked them away in a box, forgot about them, then discovered them in my fall cleaning.

I decided to use them in cards as the main embellishment. The skeleton is actually a stretchy toy.

Happy Witch Day!

Tuesday Alchemy was sponsored by Jesseas Designs previously and I was able to use one of their delightful digital images.

Isn't this witch just super sexy & fun? Love it!

Since I came across my old Halloween goodies, I have been incorporating them in my creations. Cobwebs and spiders are absolutely perfect for anything spooky & creepy.

Have you made anything creepy lately? Do you enjoy Halloween? If so, what do you love about it?

Btw, our current challenge at Tuesday Alchemy is Anything Goes and the second challenge of Spark Your Creativity Now! is Anything Goes - Create your own challenge & share your creation with me :)

It's a Halloween craft party at Friday's Sentiments! Join us at Lady Anne's Paper Crafts for another fun challenge: Create & share a project for Halloween with the twist of using die cuts.

(Hint: My die cut is the plaid frame. Isn't that paper perfect for Halloween? It has all of the fun colors that go with spookiness!)
