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.

I, too, am late to comment on this--have been mostly off the board for about a month and a half, busy with a new job. But better late than never--let me add my kudos to these five pages of comments. This card is SO creative (and time consuming). It has so much going on in it, but without looking too "busy". Every element is just perfect. You have such a talent for putting together awe-inspiring cards. TFS.
