I titled this "Boo Hoo!" because I have not even ONE Halloween stamp besides a pumpkin or two...nary a witch, bat, piece of candy corn! So I turned this Magenta cat into a witch with her homemade hat. As I have been trying to do...I incorporated black and white dots and/or brads (those are really sticker dots) anywhere I could since I am an overachiever and want extra credit from Mothermark since dots and brads are her favorites! Thanks for another fun challenge, Cindy!!

You get big time extra credit girl! If you think I did not notice those brads and polka dotted ribbon, you must have a hole in your head! Snort! This is adorable. I can so see the teapot there....and lemme tell you this....that cat is one scary dude! If I saw that cat Halloween night cross my path I would run home and never come out! Way to compromise in the face of not having nary a Halloween stamp!
I love your card...how fun that you played again! Thanks for the link to my card too!

For having no Halloween stamps, this is a fantastic job and a terrific addition to the teapot challenge too. Is that background brayered? I love your stars and brads or whatever they are. Great job.

THis is so sweet. Your cat in the witches hat is so clever. And I really like what you did with the pumpkin. Adding that texture/background stamp to it made it so much more interesting. Great card!

Well, you are very resourceful! This card is adorable! I love how you created the *moon* bg--very similar to Mothermark's teapot piece! Love the sparkly stars and your cute little witchy kitty and pumpkin! Your ribbon and the wonderful row of brads finish your card beautifully! Great work, tfs!

I like this one because I'm not into all the spooky side of Halloween, but your little cat is so sweet - and I just love the little scrap of ribbon tied round the pumpkin.
