Do not attempt to adjust your eyes (was that from the beginning of The Outer Limits show??) ....I realize this is a bit busy and eye intense! We were to use something glossy today and that is very hard to photograph..take my word the mummy is shiny!
I've been a bit busy and preoccupied of late so this was fun to do. My little g-nephew (since I don't have children my nieces and nephews are my kids and grandkids) is in the hospital..this following a surgery from 2 weeks ago. He now has a severe infection and other complications which may require 2-3 more surgeries and perhaps 6wks in the hospital. His 10th birthday was this week :( So if you could send some positive thoughts Aidan's way I'd appreciate it. I'm going over to see him this afternoon..and tomorrow will babysit his younger brother. Thanks.

Polly, you are the BEST at mixing patterns to create a creative and fun Halloween card. The mummy and spider are so cute. And I love the "poison green" in the mix.

Your Halloween card is awesome! I love all the different elements - pinned and fav'd! I'm the favorite Aunt of 21 nieces and nephews (some closer in age to me than my brothers and sister) and with no kids of my own, I know exactly how close you must be to Aidan (love that name). Pam has a great idea - I'm sure there are a lot of us that would love to send Aidan a card to help cheer him up. I hope every day will find Aidan feeling better and stronger!

Wow, Polly, this is an awesome Halloween card, your mummy must look amazingly shiny IRL!! So sad to read about Aiden, my thoughts and prayers are with you, Aiden and your family, I hope that his body can fight this infection quickly and he can be home with his family to belatedly celebrate his 10th birthday.

Polly I know exactly how you feel about your nieces and nephews, same for me. I hope you contact Sheri at the Teapotters, it would be great to send the little fellow lots of cards. This card is such fun and is sure to bring lots of smiles.

Oh Polly! I'm so sorry. Our hearts break when little ones are hurting and so sick. What a blessing you are to your family. The best thing to do when we are hurting is to step outside of ourselves and do for another - I truly believe that.
I hope you're going to save this (and a treat) for him later.
I do know how difficult it was to get a photograph of the glossy appearance without getting very close. This card is so darn cute, Polly. I have a cookie recipe that looks like this mummy. Now how cute would that be included with his card (she smiles). I'll try and find it and send you a PM with photograph.
Hugs tonight my friend. You just keep doing what you need to right now, and we'll stand behind you in prayer.
