This is a luminary I made using the Haunting jumbo wheel as a hostess gift. Instructions: Cut basic black CS to 3" x 10 1/2" and score it at 2 1/2", 5", 7 1/2" and 10" (love my Scor-Pal!). I used the 1 3/8" square punch in the center of each section for windows and centered under each window I punched in 1/4" from the bottom with the 1 1/4" punch for the base. I juiced up my black Staz-on and ran a couple rows of the Haunting wheel across vellum until I had four good images of four of the trick or treaters. Then I trimmed the four out to be 1/4" bigger all around than the window. I adhered them with my snail over each window and sealed the 1/2" on the end to the other end with sticky strip. For safety at the workshop where it sat on the table, I used a flameless tea light.

This is really cute! My daughter made one using the Haunting Halloween set (cat and cauldron.) She colored all the panels with SU! markers. I had it sitting on top of my ribbon holder while stamping one day. I guess I tap, tap, TAPPED, too hard because the vibrations on the table caused it to fall into the fish bowl (also on the table.) I retieved it but ALL the marker dripped off and the vellum got all curly! AUGH!
I can't bear to throw it away, though. Thanks for sharing! lorijane

I was inspired to make one of these last night after viewing yours. It's so easy to make, and so cute! I brought it in to work today and it received lots of oooh's and ahhh's. Thanks so much for sharing!

I saw one that my friend made after seeing your post - it's even better IRL! I'm making oodles of these for my Thanksgiving table using the Give Thanks set. I've already stocked up on my flameless tealights!!!!
