I had way too much fun with this! I don't have any halloween stamps, so this is what I came up with for a special upcoming birthday. Also, this is my first (current) Sketch Challenge, which Nancy Littrell coaxed me into trying. Thanks, Nancy!
I actually stamped the pumpkins on Pumpkin Pie and then watercolored them with Really Rust and Summer Sun to brighten them up a little. I used lots of different punches to come up with the pumpkin faces and bat, mostly heart punches, but also a diamond, star, rectangle, circles, squares, corner rounder. The outside pumpkins are on single dimensionals, the center one is on double dimensionals. I glued the tiny pieces using a toothpick and PVA glue, which I've used for floral punch craft projects - very strong, dries clear and only takes a tiny bit.

Linda, you may well break the record for comments with this one! It's like playing Tangrams, trying to figure out how you made all those shapes from the punches you used! Talk about ingenious! There will be a run on tiny shape punches at Michael's and AC Moore tomorrow! TFS, Girlfriend, you're the new Queen of "Thinking Outside the Box"!
Hugggs!
