The Challenge this month were 5 colors.  Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Mango Medley, Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight.  I wanted to do a Halloween card because I haven’t done many of them yet.  So here is my take on these colors, which I was able to use on this card.  Hope you like them.

The whisper white background is embossed with the Cobwebs 3D EF, pg 53 MC.  The images are stamped from the Set “Have a Hoot”, pg 62 MC, and cut out with the matching dies, Peek-A-Hoot.  I die cut the spider from the Little Treat Box Dies, pg 70 MC, in Basic Black CS.  The sentiment is stamped on Coastal Cabana CS, die cut with The Trio of Tags dies, pg183 AC.
