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.

Awesome....admire your patience for all the punching and pasting!!! The results are outstanding. Putting this in my favorites...don't think I have the nerve to try it, but it will serve as great inspiration for something along these lines. TFS
