Spooky Fun with Penny Black

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I'm excited to be Guest Designing with the gals at the
Penny Black Saturday Challenge.
It's one of my favorite challenges and Penny Black products are
my at the top of my list for products.


This challenge is always Anything Goes using a Penny Black product, but I like
to try to us the optional theme.

This month's theme is Cute or Spooky which seemed perfect for Halloween.
Except that I didn't have any Penny Black Halloween products.

So I HAD to go shopping!

This scary kitty caught my eye, and the bats and the background words...

The trees were in my stash already.

I had so much fun making this!

Let's go see what the fabulous Design Team has come up with...
