Autumn Pumpkin Collage by Jean Okimoto

Rotate an underwater coral collage 180 degrees...and it's a spooky, twiggy forest scene for Halloween! Hi, Jean here with an upside-down Bubble Coral Collage, the new Autumn Pumpkin and those popular ghosts. Cut a Glitzy Glitter Pad BOO! too.

Cut black cardstock with the 3-¾" wide Curved Cap Pinpoint Layers die. Cut it with an upside-down Bubble Coral Collage. Cut the extra coral from black cardstock too.

Cut the ghosts - from the Ghosts in the Forest set from heavy white cardstock. Attach black cardstock behind their faces.

Cut Autumn Pumpkin from bright orange cardstock and the tendril and leaf from green cardstock.

Cut BOO from the black Glitzy Glitter Pad 6x6 with Mini Vintage Varsity Alphabet. Save an offcut from inside the letters - they'll become an exclamation mark.

Trim an orange/yellow A2 card with a corner-rounding punch. Attach the diecuts - use foam dots behind the ghosts' heads. Add the green/gray Treasure Chest Fairy Gemstones. Cut an A2-sized piece of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.

Nautical designs - like this Bubble Coral Collage - are popular for summer cards. Turn it into a fall design for Halloween with the Boiling Cauldron, Layered Witch Hat or Rickety House. Just a few ideas - or some inspiration for September's Crazy for Orange Challenge. The entry deadline for the Challenge is the end of the day EST on September 29th.

Thanks for visiting - see you again on Friday!
