The Last of Halloween Posts

I've been playing along all month with challenges on Flying-Unicorn

With this one you had to make a card about a scary movie. I choose The Black Swan.

That movie still gives me the heebie jeebies.

For this challenge you had to use gauze somewhere on your art piece.

I made another chunky atc with a little gauze ghost on top.

This was a altered tin I did for Alpha Stamps

using the not so scary collage images

Inside of tin, with the poem about finding your True Love

 on Halloween night when you look into a mirror at the stroke of midnight.

and right now theres a Great giveaway going on at Alpha stamps

Heres what you can win
