The reason behind the card ......well, I just discovered The Alley Way Stamps! SO cute and fun to work with. Check out the store and the blog. Right now there's an inspiration challenge going on and even though the photo has penguins on it, I saw orange bats! Go figure - right! I've used one of the free images but will definitely have to go shopping now!
Not real sure if anyone else is showcasing a Halloween card in the middle of January - but as I always say....dare to be different!
Thanks for stopping by............

ReplyDeleteAren't they great!! I love TAWS! So whimsical and fun :) Great card, Lynn!

ReplyDeleteA pop of orange in the middle of winter is actually a welcome sight when the lack of color outdoors is starting to get to me! :) Halloween is such a fun holiday!! Those little bats are too cute and what a perfect sentiment!

This looks great Lynn and as I've recently learned, I think we just have to follow our hearts and enjoy whatever it is we are doing! Hugs, Karen
ReplyDeleteBats, Penguins all the same aren't they??? I thought so. These bats are darling and your sentiment is cute in that font. The ribbon and gems were a great touch. I still love you even though you are batty.
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn This is gorgeous, I love those bats.

LOVE IT! Your bats are delightful, and I'm happy to see the Orange & Black stuff again. I still have some Christmas images left I need to use up as well. Great job on this card, and I'll check out the link. (Trying hard to be good...so far this month I've done ok, but I'm weak----enn-ing! We also have a stamp convention early in Feb. close enough to drive, so .....big incentive). TFS & hope you are all well now.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a fun card, Lynn! I can see this one done in Valentine colors, too, and how cute that would be. I'm not familiar with Alley Way Stamps but I guess I'll have to go explore. Thanks for the info, my friend. :-D

Adorable! I think as card makers, a lot of people make different ones all during the year. Why not? You'll need it eventually. lol.
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! Your little orange bats are just tooo cute...love your take on the inspiration!!!!
ReplyDeleteI would have thought that with the black and orange, Halloween would have popped into my mind too - but it's January!!! I'm glad it popped into yours because I LOVE those polka dot bats! So glad to see you at The Alley Way Stamps BE Inspired Challenge.
ReplyDeleteHey, if we can make Christmas cards year round, why not Halloween too?!
