Well, everyone, it's time for our weekly Throwdown and I'm still working on my Halloween cards! After this one, I'll have 2 more to go. Then, oh joy, I'll have to kick it into high gear on the Christmas front!
Here are our colors for the week, chosen by Laura:

This card will be for my 4 year old grandson. He's a candy fanatic, so the inside sentiment says "It's all about the candy." Just perfect!

This scene was creating using the adorable Tiny Town Halloween set from My Favorite Things. The star banner, the big scallop border, and the sentiment banner were all made using Die-Namics from MFT too. I used the tiny star cut-outs from the star border by adhering them to the sky and then adding some sparkle with a gel pen.
These are perfect colors for finishing off your spooky Halloween cards! Please play along with us. All the details are on the Color Throwdown blog and you can get tons of inspiration from the design team here:

Oh this is so GREAT!!! I love love love that you stamped onto the saffron paper!! I've never done that! What a great effect! That's so clever! I love the images you worked with and using the star scraps for the sky is brilliant. I love how this came together! Your grandson will love it!

I know what you mean; I get started on Halloween cards and don't want to stop! I still have another stamp set that hasn't seen ink but then I'm switching to Thanksgiving cards before tackling Christmas!
Great card - I love it all - TFS!

Your images look fabulous colored on the Saffron background, Broni and I LOVE how you used the stars that ended up being punched out of your border! Very clever!
