This is the first time I've posted to one of SCS challenges. This week's sketch looked like a lot of fun to come up with an idea.
I started out making a birthday card using part of the Cuttlebug ef - Bird Call - on the left side of the card. But it just wasn't turning out the way I wanted so I turned it into a Halloween card. I've been wanting to use the new MS Deep Edge punch - Iron Fence I recently got in the mail and this is what I came up with. For the small gravestones I inked and stamped them separately from my new MS Vampire stamp set.
Thanks for Looking.

This has to be one of my most favorite Halloween cards I've seen on SCS yet! You made me laugh out loud when I read it started out to be a birthday card! OMGosh, what a transformation. Such a great card!

WOW! I love what you did with this card (which is hard to see in the small thumbnail until you open to see the full picture)! The back is gloomy & spooky, while the front scene of pumpkins are adorable, bright and cheery - in a scarey-kind-of-way. Just fantastic!
