MID-MONTH FEBRUARY TWO OLD BATS HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE

Here it is mid-month already and this is our reminder that there are two weeks left to enter your projects for February. I showed this card to my husband and he just rolled his eyes - he thinks we at Two Old Bats are mostly nuts! Halloween is not his favorite holiday. He better be careful - he may get this in October when we celebrate our 39th wedding anniversary!

I was looking at the heart-shaped wreath with two skeletons in the top left quadrant when I started this, but I don't have any large heart dies in my stash, so opted for a round wreath.

I started with a 5-1/2" square black top-folded card base, then die cut a circle opening into the center of a smaller square black panel. I cut a piece of Park Lane "Haunted Hollow" printed cardstock and mounted one skull to the top left of the circle opening and glued it from the back before mounting the square panel to the face of the card base. Then I attached a larger circle cut from the printed stock and fussy cut a second skull to overlap the circles. I die cut several stems of PTI foliage from both sides of the printed card stock and arranged them with some black "witchy" threads and enamel dots. 

Inside I die cut a couple of Stampin' Up "Chalk Talk" tags and white heat embossed a PTI sentiment and XOXO - I layered these on to the inside and added some fussy cut bones.

This has been a fun month of combining Halloween and Valentine's Day imagery! I hope you find it as interesting and join us in our rather morbid enjoyment! If we get to 25 or more entries, there will be a drawing for this great die:
