Because we don't celebrate Halloween very much, and I didn't have anything Halloween-ish, I came across an advertising brochure which had all sorts of things H.
I decided to cut out the pumpkins already nicely bunched together, I had some spiders already printed and had just received the pumpkin border maker punch from Creative Memories.
So, it was obvious put them all together but I wanted to make it a little more than just cutouts and punching so added the Michael Strong mini flowers, stamped on orange cardstock and fussy cut, then layered two together using foam squares, I did put the brad through the top flower before joining them together, that way it slightly raised the top flower as well, then adding a thinner foam square slightly raised the third one tucking it under the other two.
The Pumpkin border is adhered to a piece of brown card. The challenge was to make it fit the theme, so I attached the spiders to the back of the pumpkin cutout before attaching to the card, it was easier to get them in the right position. I did colour the white background of the spiders with some Tuxedo Black and Spiced Marmalade to reduce the starkness. Hope it fits the bill. Scary but fun. Thanks for looking.

You did a fantastic job with your card. I am excited that you pulled it off with out any Halloween in your stash. Way to think outside the box! So many little details make this card stand out. Thanks for playing along with us this round!
