This is my second card for the CAS296 to make a halloween card, and the TLC505 to use the spirelli technique. Since I am making these for my sons, and I have 2 boys, I need 2 cards. Now some of you might have visions of littles cuties all excited about their halloween costumes...well, my little cuties are 17 and 19 and both of them are over 6 feet. I am the first one down stairs in the morning, so on Oct. 31 I will add a little green food coloring to their milk and give them their cards. They are great about putting up with their silly mom and I will get 2 big hugs and kisses.....well worth the time it takes to make the cards. A big thanks to Sabrina for the terrific sperilli tutorial. So fun and easy...my 2 favorite words when it comes to techniques. Does anyone remember a toy from the 1960's where you drew designs like this with the help of some sort of tool? It was called something like a "spirograph". I think there have been plastic remakes, but mine was made from metal.
TFL, Francie

What a fun card. Love all the great colors. Most of all, I love that you make green milk for your 17 and 19 year old sons. My boys are 40 and 44 and I still make them silly birthday cards and they love them. You are making fond memories that they will remember forever. You go MOM.

Francie, this one is so fun as well. Really love the colors, and the spirelli was a great addition on both your cards. I am going to have to remember the green milk :-)
