Here's a brand new inspiration board for April, and it's full of orange, black, and yellow "witchy" images! And look at all of the moons!
Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge: April 2025 Anything Goes Halloween
My card for this beginning of the month challenge is a sort of composite of more than one of the quadrants presented by our challenge leaders.
I die cut circles from two coordinating orange and yellow card stocks and inserted the yellower one into the orange one to make my moon - I'll see if I can use the additional orange circle on the next card! Then I cut a wide strip of orange and yellow diagonal striped card stock and glued both the moon panel and diagonal panel to a black square card base and added the strip of Graphic 45 "Fright Night" with black cats and sentiment. Then I added a Tim Holtz Halloween die-cut church and scraggly tree, positioning the church so that one of the black cats is peering at us through the church door. I die cut a picket fence from black cardstock from one of my village die sets and added two die-cut bats from Whimsey Stamps. The envelope is custom-made from coordinating card stock.

Here's my coordinating treat box built with black card stock, and I added die cut tags from the orange and yellow papers and a strip of Graphic 45 bats, die cut Tim Holtz cat, Whimsey die-cut bat, and black & white baker's twine. I'll make another box when we're at our mid-month reminder.
AND our Whimsy Stamps dies are back to haunt us until we get 25 or more entries in our challenge!
