How about some fun Halloween punch art?
The paper I used in the background is from the new Trick or Treat paper pack.
Look at all these fun papers that will be the perfect compliment to your Halloween photos…and the new Trick or Treat stickers, too! 
The Gold ABC/123 Stickers work beautifully with these fun new Halloween themed products. (Thanks Candace for this great picture!)
Need a closer look at that fun Pumpkin Patch black (bookcloth) Mica album? Here you go!
Here is a close up of each each member of this “too cute to spook” group and the tools I used to create them:
Bat
Body: use the new Two-Way Corner Rounder on a corner of Black Cardstock first, the use the Circle Cartridge and the Shape Maker System to cut out the rest of the shape. (Did you know that the wonderful, smooth, solid colored cardstock so many of us miss is back while supplies last?! Check out the Going Gone section of my CM Advisor site while it’s still available!!)
