Hi and thanks for stopping by! Is it starting to look more like Halloween where you live? My neighborhood always goes all out for holidays. I'm starting to see cemeteries popping up on peoples front lawns, manikins hanging from trees, and pumpkins on front porches. We are just getting started - my husband cut down the corn stalks from the garden and made a few bundles to decorate with. Unfortunately the raccoons ate all my Indian corn so I will have to buy some this year. I love seeing the rainbow of color on an ear of corn - something magical about the reds and purples in such an unexpected place. 
It's time for a new challenge at Serendipity Stamps. This week the challenge is paper piecing. The fussy cutting is going to take you some time, but it really is worth the effort and creates some dramatic images. I thought this ghost image would look neat if each of the ghosties were cut from different pattern papers.

Love all the layers and bow! Great choice of papers for the piecing too!
Wow--what a fabulous scene you created. You are the queen of matching and combining patterned papers.
Tried to leave a comment here yesterday and for some strange reason it didn't post. But it gave to a chance to visit your fun card again. Love those cute ghosts and your paper piecing makes them even more adorable! Lots of Halloween goodness here. The glittery bow with a pumpkin is perfect!
Wow, I would not have thought to paper piece these sweet little ghost, and this is just the cutest card.
