Yummy orange from CT Anne today...

 I've been on a stencilling jag, and on a postcard (6x4) mission, and had this postcard left over.  And some other bits left over from other projects.  As I puzzled them, trying to make a new cohesive piece, I bethought me of my journal book. And the traditional Northern Hemisphere Halloween scene.  So we shall have a pumpkin patch in the garden of a haunted house.

But gardens have all sorts of bugs, spiders, tiny doll-people laid out as sacrifices perhaps.
A Haunted House would need Haunters showing through the windows, so I left a blank area on my journal page, where there was no "traditional" leafless tree, stamped some "webs" on it, and fussycut some stamped images to add them to the back of the die-cut house:

Mat board and halloween paper diecut and glued together, here's the front side 

Ah, did I mention stencilling the journal page?  Yep.  Yellow page, purple paint daubed over.

Something learned:  not all tissue papers blend into the background when you glue them to your page.  Oh well, some crows are flying against a cloudy backdrop, maybe that monkey swinging in the tree has escaped a circus?  UhOh!  And there are some flying monkeys in the corner too.  Noooo!
Put them together, and the full scene is revealed. Happy children, screaming children, sleeping children, tiny human insects on the pumpkins, a clown face disguised as a pumpkin - the stereotypical Halloween scene, except there are no tombstones.  Oh well, another time...
