BOO!!!

With Halloween just around the corner, how could I not make a Halloween card?  :)  This card was inspired by candy corn.  You know, that white, yellow, and orange (or occasionally chocolate) candy that makes it appearance around this time every year?  Well, rather than stuff myself with sugar, I decided to get my candy corn fix through a much more diet friendly conduit ;)

(It also helped that challenge #219 over at 365 Cards was to make a card whose motivation was candy corn!)

Without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, my paper sugar rush:

I had a lot of fun with this card.  I'm sure I'm not the only to use the orange, yellow, and white paper stripes idea, but I like to think my card still turned out to be original.  I felt very proud of the netting across the yellow paper-I knicked it from my dad's construction supplies (he's currently finishing our basement, so there's lots of it around, although I can't remember exactly what it's called...).  My little spider was from the Doodlecharms cart and my BooHouse came from Jubilee-welded together using design studio.

My eye candy :)
