The Most Wonderful Time of the Year -- Halloween!

It's Tuesday which is my day to share a project created for Topflight Stamps! I've created a Halloween card with the Poe's Ravens Rubber Cling Stamp Set by Marty Crouz for Carabelle Studio and sentiments from the Miss Merry Clear Stamp Set 608 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create and the Classic Sentiments Clear Stamp Set by Heffy Doodle. The background was created with the Distressed Brick 6x6 Stencil by Paper Rose.

Here's the card.
