Happy Halloween

It's Tuesday which is my day to share a project created for Topflight Stamps! It's after Labor Day, which means the next big holiday is Halloween, so I've made another Halloween card with The Birds - Jab Collection Unmounted Red Rubber Stamp Set KTZ247 by Katzelkraft, some of the bat stamps from the Twisted Tree Red Rubber Cling Stamp Set by Darkroom Door, a sentiment from the Holiday Sentiment Duos Clear Stamp Set by Heffy Doodle, and Graphite, Violet Chalk, and Blue Lagoon Elements Inks by Lavinia Stamps.

Here's the card!
