Halloween Scene

It's Tuesday, my day to create a project for Topflight Stamps. This week is an "Anything Goes" week and I'm getting into the Halloween spirit with a slimline card created with fabulous new stamps by AALL and Create. I've used Janet Klein's Weird Science Clear Stamp Set 950 and the witch from her Be Witchingly Clear Set 950. The background features the fantastic Haunted House from the House of Faces Clear Stamp Set 1053 by Autour de Mwa.
