A fabulously fun collection of Halloween cards. The colours, doodling, stamping and textures are all wonderful.
The images are suitably spooky and I love that you used a Poe book page, brilliant.

I adore every inch of these, fabulous attention to detail with each one telling a different story. Inspirational creations which i'm sure your family adored.

What a fantastic collection of spooky cards Helene - each one is so beautifully designed and the colours you've used really make them stand out against the black backgrounds. Thank you for sharing them with us at The Funkie Junkie Boutique blog xx
