Wicked...

It's Friday! This month's Stamp of the Month, Beware, from Clear & Simple Stamps has me feeling a bit "wicked" today. I thought I would create a spooky tag that I could give to my hubby for Halloween (tied to some kind of disgustingly sweet candy -- no one on the planet has a bigger sweet tooth than he does!) Beware includes the uber-cool skull and cross-bones and I gave this creepy fella some glowing eyes by inking up the eyes of one of the pumpkin images in the same set. Hope your day includes some wicked good fun!

I just used this same stamp set on some ATCs I just made. Unfortunately, I totally forgot to take a picture before I mailed them off - eek! Anyway, just wanted to say I really like this tag!! :)
