Spooky - By the Cute and Girly

My favourite season is here, and also my favourite month of the year - October.

I just love the Halloween colours - green, orange, purple and black all together, so my first card have those colours and is shaped like a pumpkin.  Well, we don't really celebrate Halloween here in Sweden but I had a lot of fun doing this card anyway.

I got the idea for the second "card" when I saw the Alice in Wonderland movie and the Hallowe'en in Wonderland Collection from Graphic 45 suited perfectly! I decided to make a tea pot. :) I found a great template in the latest number of Magnolia Ink Magazine (lucky me that I didn't have to draw one myself), which I enlarged.

And of course, just like in the movie, Alice is hiding in the tea pot...

The last project for the October challenge is a lay out of something I think is really spooky: cobwebs. But how can something this beautiful be so spooky?
