Halloween Birthdays

I have a special friend who's birthday is on Halloween. So I just spent some time making up this one special card. I will be delivering it later this week but wanted her to see it on the actual day!
This cute witch is a digital stamp I downloaded and coloured from Tiddlyinks.

Magnus seems to like pumpkins. He's been laughing at our display.

Have a great Halloween! Enjoy my Sunday beading links!
