Here's some little owls I made for the kids in my son's preschool class. I'm going to fill them with candy and have a little invite enclosed for a Halloween party.
I've seen several of these types of owls on here and think they're so cute, so I put my own spin on them. The wings move with the help of a brad for a hinge. I've crossed the wings and when they move them, they have the Trick or Treat message stamped beneath them. Thanks for looking!

I figured I may get more questions about how it's made, so I'll give you a quick rundown:
I just used Stampin' UP punches and die cuts to make everything. The head is made using the SU top note die.
The eyes are made using the circle scallop punch, the 1 3/8 circle punch, 1 1/4 circle punch & 3/4" Circle punch
The girl owl's lashes are made using a 1 3/8 circle punch, but cutting part of the circle off to make it flat, then cut tiny slits about 1/2" up all the way along that flat part. Glue under eyelid and curl up with your fingers/pencil/screwdriver, etc...
The beak is made using a heart punch.
The tuft of "hair" is made using the boho blossom punch
The wings are made using the Large BigShot Scallop die
and a circle cut from circle scissors plus or Nesties.
The feet are made with the 5 petal flower punch, trimmed
I attached the wings to the face using brads.
I used a black marker for the nostril holes and a
white Signo gel pen for the highlights in the eyes.
Just glue everything together and slap it on, pretty much!
Hope this was helpful. All Stampin' Up products from a SU gal!
